Boeing-paid Short- and Long-Term Disability benefits can replace part of an eligible employee’s income if they can’t work because they’re ill or injured. Some full-time employees may be able to purchase additional Long-Term Disability coverage.

Boeing’s pregnancy leave of absence generally starts the day the child is born and lasts up to six weeks for a vaginal delivery or eight weeks for a C-section. Time away from work while on pregnancy leave does not count toward any leave provided under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA).

This is not a paid leave, but employees may be eligible for Short-Term Disability benefits during this time. They may also qualify for Paid Parental Leave.

Boeing’s Paid Parental Leave (PPL) is a best-in-class benefit, offering up to 12 weeks of fully paid time away in an employee’s first year with their child. It’s available to eligible parents on their first day with the company, and it provides time to bond with a newborn or newly adopted or placed foster child.

When approved for Boeing-paid parental leave and if eligible for federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), FMLA Leave will run concurrently with the PPL. In addition, where regulations allow, any city, state or federal leave for bonding for which employees are eligible will run concurrently with Boeing’s PPL.

Boeing’s leave benefits can offer peace of mind when an employee needs to be away from work to care for a loved one. The options include:

• FMLA Leave: The federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) allows up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave to care for a child, spouse, parent or covered service member with a serious health condition.
• Domestic Partner Leave: The FMLA provides caregiver leave only for spouses, not domestic partners. Boeing’s Domestic Partner Leave provides up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave for an eligible employee to care for a domestic partner and/or their dependents with a serious health condition.
• Military Caregiver Leave: The FMLA also permits up to 26 weeks of unpaid leave to care for a covered service member with a serious illness or injury incurred in the line of duty.
• Boeing’s Employee Family Care Leave: Employees who aren’t eligible for FMLA Leave or city or state leaves may be able to take up to 90 consecutive calendar days of unpaid time away.

Members of the U.S. uniformed services, or employees who are applying to join the services, are eligible for Military Leave.

• Annual training: Employees will receive full pay for up to 80 hours per fiscal year, based on the start date of the original set of orders.
• Temporary special duty: Employees will be eligible to receive up to two years of differential pay based on orders.
• Extended duty orders supporting Executive Order 13223: Employees will be eligible to receive up to 60 months of differential pay based on orders.
