Effective January 1, 2026, the Transitional Remote Return to Office Program is intended to provide eligible Employees with a gradual return to in-office work over a 12-week timeframe upon return from continuous Maternity, Child Bonding, or New Parent Paid Leave of 3 or more days. This program is available to both men and women when adding to their families through birth or adoption. Temporary employees and contract workers are not eligible. This benefit will be position dependent related to the ability to work remotely and reviewed on a case-by-case basis as needed.

Transitional Remote Return to Office Schedule dates will be reviewed with Absence Management prior to the Employees scheduled return from leave.

Guidance on time sheet coding will be provided to the Employee and Leader upon return from continuous leave of absence. This program is separate from an Employees Remote Work Bank.
