Family Forming Benefits
Growing your family is an important chapter – and we’re here to support you along the way. Whether it’s fertility benefits, adoption assistance, or time off to spend with your new family member, our programs are designed to help you navigate this journey with confidence.
Paid Parental Leave
CF Industries provides Paid Parental Leave (PPL) to support your time away from work to bond with your new family member – whether they be newborn or newly adopted.
Eligibility
Regular, active full-time employees are eligible for PPL after the completion of 12 months of service. This leave applies to both birth moms and non-birth parents.
Benefit Amount
CF Industries’ PPL allows eligible employees the opportunity to take up to four weeks of leave at 100% of base pay. PPL is paid through payroll on your regularly scheduled pay dates and is subject to all normal withholdings and deductions.
Requirements
Employees must provide at least a 90-day notice and must take their leave within six months after a birth or adoption. PPL can be taken intermittently or in one continuous block of time, depending on your work location.
How to Apply
You must submit your leave request in Workday at least 90 days prior to your requested leave date(s). Typically, this means 90 days prior to your expected due date or adoption placement. Requested leave periods are subject to manager review and approval. Remember to attach the signed PPL Affidavit to your Workday request.
Your Paid Parental Leave runs concurrently with applicable federal and state Family and Medical Leave provisions. If you are eligible for paid leave benefits under state or local law, the Paid Parental Leave program will be coordinated to prevent duplication of benefits. Your combined paid leave benefits will not exceed 100% of your regular base pay.
Adoption Assistance Program
If you are interested in adoption, you may be eligible for reimbursement of up to $10,000 from CF Industries for Qualified Adoption Expenses. This can include adoption agency fees, legal fees, travel costs and more. To learn more about this program, search ‘Adoption Assistance Program’ on The Loop to review the HR Policy.
