U.S. non-union colleagues eligible for Sysco-sponsored benefits are eligible for these benefits:
Important note: These leave benefits coordinate with our current Short-term Disability (STD) benefits and leave entitlements under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and state leaves. Colleagues can initiate pregnancy or adoption leave through The Hartford by calling 1-800-55-SYSCO.
We offer these benefits because Sysco understands that pregnancy, adoption, and surrogacy are important times for our colleagues. Pregnancy is a major health event, and we want to help birth mothers take the time they need to rest and recover after childbirth. When your family grows with an adoption or surrogacy, Sysco wants to provide the time needed for the adoption or surrogacy process.
All U.S. non-union colleagues eligible for Sysco-sponsored benefits are eligible for these benefits. If you are covered under a collective bargaining agreement or you are not eligible for Sysco-sponsored benefits (i.e., part-time, etc.), you are not eligible for the pregnancy and adoption and surrogacy leave benefits.
Your eligibility for the pregnancy and adoption and surrogacy leave benefits aligns with your eligibility for other Sysco health and welfare benefits. Once you are eligible for Sysco-sponsored benefits, you will be eligible for the new paid pregnancy and adoption and surrogacy leave benefits.
Sysco offers Paid Parental Leave to eligible colleagues who are birth parents, and primary or secondary caregivers. Paid Parental Leave can be taken following the birth of the colleague’s child to be used within 6 months of the birth. Colleagues must contact The Hartford at 1-877-215-3440 to file their parental leave claim for review and approval. Proof of birth documentation will be required.

These policies apply to all colleagues who meet the eligibility requirements for the Paid Pregnancy Leave or Paid Adoption Leave benefits.

Several states offer residents paid leave benefits related to family leave and disability leave.

Some states cover the full amount of eligible leave payments, and some states cover a portion of eligible leave payments
