Our Paid Family Leave aims to provide income support for eligible employees who take time away from their jobs to bond with a new child, care for a family member with a serious health condition, or who take a qualifying military exigency or caregiver leave of absence.

Eligible employees may receive up to:

• Six weeks to bond with a new child (Birth, Adoption, Foster Care)
• Four weeks to care for a family member with a serious health condition
• Four weeks for a qualifying military exigency or caregiver leave of absence.

To be eligible for Paid Family Leave, employees must meet the eligibility requirements established under the Family & Medical Leave Act (FMLA). For eligible birthing mothers, Cargill also offers additional salary continuation for up to eight weeks starting at the date of birth. Employees must be non-temporary employees who are eligible for model benefits and work a regular schedule of at least 30 hours.

To further support growing families, Cargill offers eligible employees Adoption and Surrogacy assistance programs to help reimburse qualified expenses.

• Adoption Assistance: Reimbursement of eligible adoption expenses up to $10,000 for eligible employees. 
• Surrogacy Assistance: Surrogacy assistance up to $20,000 for eligible employees.

Whether you’re planning a pregnancy, just had a baby or you’re getting ready to adopt, Cargill provides a variety of resources to help you prepare for your new child.

Comprehensive Wellbeing Support

Every employee has access to our Employee Assistance Program (EAP), which offers support for life’s challenges. From virtual or in-person counseling to legal consultations and financial planning seminars, this resource is here for you. 

Resources for Families

We’re proud to offer RethinkCare, a free online and app-based program designed to support families through everyday and extraordinary parenting challenges. Whether you’re navigating developmental differences or guiding your child through milestones like potty training or school transitions, expert resources are always at your fingertips.

Inclusive Family-Building Benefits

For Cargill employees to grow their family, we partner with Progyny to provide fertility benefits that focus on care, not cost. Progyny, available in the HRA and HSA Cargill medical plan options, connects you with leading specialists and offers benefits based on treatment cycles rather than dollar limits. You’ll have a dedicated Patient Care Advocate for emotional support and personalized guidance every step of the way.

Support for Nursing Moms

If you’re a breastfeeding mom traveling overnight for work, Milk Stork makes it easy to ship pumped breast milk home. Choose a TSA-approved cooler shipped directly to your hotel or a convenient tote for carry-on travel.

Life is busy, and we’re here to help. All employees have access to Bright Horizons, a resource for child, pet, and elder care solutions. With Bright Horizons, you can move ahead on center waitlists or receive tuition discounts at partner locations. You’ll also enjoy a free premium membership to Sittercity, giving you access to a trusted database of sitters; including virtual options when you need flexibility. For families looking for more personalized care, Bright Horizons offers discounts on College Nannies, a placement service for trained and screened caregivers. And because learning matters, you’ll find exclusive discounts on tutoring, test prep, enrichment classes, and small group learning pods through education partners. Plus, Bright Horizons provides senior care and pet care solutions, so you can feel supported no matter what life brings.
