Reason for the policy

We support teammates at all stages of life, including during family planning. Providing flexibility and family-friendly policies are essential to cultivating a culture where employees can thrive professionally without sacrificing precious family time. We want to give all new parents the ability to bond with their new child and adjust to their new family dynamic. The below resources are for teammates who are expecting to become, or have recently become, a parent.

Paid parental leave policy at Sourcegraph

Sourcegraph ensures eligible Teammates are paid 100% of your salary for up to 16 weeks per birth, and up to 16 weeks for one or multiple adoption or placement event(s) per 12 months, covering the difference between any country or state-sponsored benefits and your full salary. (Teammates must sign up for any country or state-sponsored leave benefits if available. Note: References to fully-paid parental leave in this policy for non-commission based teammates are intended to reference 100% of your base pay. If you are on a commission plan, additional guidance is provided in the Commission Payout and Quota Relief section.

Adoption or Foster-placement leave PTO may be taken before actual placement or adoption of a child for absences related to placement or adoption, in addition to post-placement bonding. For post-placement bonding, we offer a total of 16 weeks per 12 months for adoption(s) or multiple foster-placements.

Leave preceding the birth of the child is available to teammates as PTO, medical leave or statutory maternity benefits (dependent on location) . This is an additional benefit on top of the paid parental leave policy, which ensures up to 16 weeks of paid leave after the birth event. The People Team is available to consult on options for pre-birth and disability leave policies.

Sourcegraph provides leave after pregnancy loss. Contact your People Partner for assistance.

Overview:

• Paid parental leave can be used for the birth, adoption, or foster care placement of a child, within the 12 months immediately following the qualifying event (your child’s birth, adoption finalization, or placement).
• You may take more or less than 16 weeks, depending on your needs and preferences, but anything over 16 weeks is not eligible for the paid parental leave policy. (See FAQ for Non-US/statutory variances)
• You may take the 16 weeks consecutively, or you may choose to use them non-consecutively (so long as it is within 12 months of your initial parental leave date). If using non-consecutively, you must request leave in blocks of 1-month increments and cannot split this into specified days across partial, non-consecutive weeks. If you need more flexibility taking non-consecutive leave, please reach out to the [email protected] and go through an approval process to see if the business can accommodate shorter blocks of leave.
• If you live in a country where a statutory Parental and/or Birthing Parent/Maternity Leave benefit is available (which may include disability leave for birthing parents), you will be required to claim statutory Parental and/or Birthing Parent/Maternity Leave pay (if you are eligible) and, if such leave is offered at less than full pay, Sourcegraph will supplement any gaps in total unpaid leave for up to 16 weeks. Please see guidance below for International Teammates.
