Paid family leave

Focus on your family

Gulfstream provides paid family leave, so you can focus on your family.

Paid Family Leave (CP-6-85) offers two weeks of paid leave per year at 100% of base pay to U.S. employees to provide care for their covered family members with a serious health condition or for bonding with a new child.  Paid family leave (PFL) may be continuous or intermittent.

For care of a covered family member, PFL may be taken in one day increments based on the employee’s normally scheduled work hours.

Bonding is important

For bonding with a child, PFL must be requested within one year of the of birth or placement. Spouses who both work for Gulfstream may take PFL at the same time for child bonding and the maximum allowance will be available to both spouses. PFL for child bonding must be taken in weekly increments.

Eligibilty

All U.S. full-time and part-time employees, including expats, are eligible. Co-ops, interns, and high school apprentices are not eligible.
