Other Protected Absences

Pregnancy Disability Leave

California law entitles a childbearing employee to take Pregnancy Disability Leave (PDL) if they are disabled because of pregnancy, childbirth, or a related medical condition, including prenatal care and severe morning sickness. The length of leave will be up to 4 months or the equivalent number of days the employee would normally work within the 4-month period. Intermittent leave or a reduced work schedule may be taken. Employees should give notice to the founder to whom they report.

Bereavement Leave

An employee who wishes to take time off due to the death of an immediate family member should notify the CEO. Paid bereavement leave will be granted up to 5 consecutive days for the death of a family member including the following: spouse, domestic partner, cohabitant, child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, grandparent, great grandparent, or sibling.

Jury Duty or Witness Summons

Tidepool encourages employees to fulfill their civic duties.

Employees will be granted up to 10 days paid time to serve on a jury or as a witness. In order to minimize disruption in the office, employees are requested to check in with the CEO when jury duty or witness testimony lasts less than four hours per day and may be requested to work remotely.

Other Leaves of Absence

Tidepool will grant leaves of absence for other activities as required by law. Unless otherwise required by law, employees will not be paid for such leaves of absence.
