Welcoming a new child into your family is a special time. To give you time to bond with your child, ZOLL provides 100% paid leave upon birth, adoption, or foster-care placement of a child. This leave runs at the same time as short-term disability and state offered plans that may be in place.

Eligibility: You are eligible for Paid Parental Leave if you:

• Have been employed with the company for at least 12 months at the time of the child’s birth, adoption, or foster care placement.
• Are full-time, 30+ hours per week, regular employee (part-time, commission only, fixed term and per diem employees, contingent workers and interns are not eligible for this benefit).
• Review the Paid Parental Leave Program Overview document for detailed information about eligibility and how the benefit is paid.

Next Steps:

1. You must file a claim with Broadspire, ZOLL’s Leave of Absence Administrator. Visit or call to initiate a claim.
2. You will receive a claim decision within 5 days of Broadspire’s receipt of complete supporting paperwork.
3. A Broadspire Claims Examiner will work with you one on one for the duration of your absence.

The Federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is designed to provide up to 12 work weeks of unpaid leave time during any 12-month period if you require time off for one or more of the following reasons:

• The birth and care of your newborn child
• The placement of a child with you for adoption or foster care
• To care for an immediate family member (spouse, qualified domestic partner, child, or parent) with a serious health condition
• To take medical leave when you are unable to work because of a serious health condition
• For any qualifying emergency arising out of the fact that a spouse, son, daughter, or parent is a military member on covered active duty or call to covered active-duty status
• To care for a covered service member with a serious illness or injury incurred in the line of duty

Eligibility: You must be employed for one year and have worked at least 1,250 hours in the previous 12 months. FMLA runs concurrent with disability and state offered plans, where applicable.

Accidents or serious illnesses can happen when you least expect it. Even if you’re not able to work, your regular financial obligations are still there. ZOLL wants to ensure that you and your family are financially protected.

ZOLL automatically provides both short- and long-term disability to all eligible employees at no cost to you.

Short-term Disability is administered through Broadspire and Long-term Disability is administered through New York Life. If Short-term Disability may progress to Long-term Disability, both administrators will work with you and each other to ensure a smooth transition process.

*Your payment may be reduced by deductible sources of income.
