We recognize how important it is to take time to focus on yourself and your family after welcoming a new baby. Full-time, salaried and hourly Employees are eligible for 12 weeks of fully paid Maternity leave through a combination of Short Term Disability and Traeger Payroll. For more information on maternity leave and resources to help you be successful in transitioning to leave or returning to work, reach out to Kortni Hobson (khobson@traegergrills.com) or any member of the HR team.

Traeger recognizes eligible employees rights and responsibilities under the Family and Medical Leave Act, applicable state and local family leave laws, and the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Common Conversations Around Maternity
When it comes to your UNUM short term disability coverage, maternity related disabilities are treated as any other illness; and because Traeger pays for this benefit in full on your behalf, there are no pre-existing conditions limitations. You will receive 60% of your predisability earnings from UNUM for six weeks. Traeger will pay the additional 40% during that time and then 100% for the remaining weeks. Depending on which state you live in, some states also have laws that are designated to allow extended leaves of absence while guaranteeing continuing employment with the company. Traeger will work with you and all benefits you are eligible for to keep you whole for those 12 weeks.

In some instances, a person can perform their occupation right up to the time of hospital confinement while others may have problems that disable them before that date. Based on your condition, you may be allowed time off prior to the expected delivery date.

If medical complications arise which prevent you from working as scheduled, documentation by your physician outlining specific restrictions and limitations must be submitted to the UNUM leave management team. At this point, your claim will be reviewed.

Disability benefits are available for the time loss due to your inability to perform your job, not for complications or custodial care that may arise with a newborn child. If this situation applies to you, reach out to any member of the HR team to discuss.

Every parent should have the opportunity to take time to bond with a new baby. Traeger will pay up to 1 week (5 days) of parental leave for regular full-time salaried employees.

Traeger has an open paid-time-off (PTO) policy for all salary full time employees. This means that employees do not have a set number of vacation days available, nor do employees accrue vacation days the longer they work. Instead, employees are expected to perform their duties, manage their work and time effectively. This allows employees flexibility to take time off needed and as agreed to by your supervisor. This program is designed to provide flexibility to the employee in balancing work and life outside of work. See the “Open Paid-Time-Off Policy” for all details around this program.

All full-time hourly employees are eligible to accrue PTO. Employees working 30 hours plus per week are considered full-time. Employees working 29 hours or less per week are considered part-time. Part-time, on-call and temporary employees are not eligible to accrue PTO.
