One of the most important aspects of preparing for and heading out on leave is understanding your leave pay. Leave pay can include multiple different sources of income and it's not always straightforward how it all comes together. Here, we hope to help you understand exactly how you can expect to be paid while out on leave.

Important:

Employer Leave pay:
The amount displayed on your dashboard for employer top-up pay may be reduced by deductions like 401(k) contributions, health insurance premiums, or adjustments made by your pay team for leave payments. Always check your pay stub for the most accurate details and contact your People Team with any questions or for support.

Benefit Estimates in Cocoon:
Benefit estimates in Cocoon are based on the anticipated daily rate from state or private insurance, where applicable. These estimates may vary due to multiple factors. To help ensure you receive 100% pay where applicable, use the benefit verification tool to confirm your benefits within your Cocoon dashboard.

Each dropdown corresponds to a specific topic, and we've organized the videos within them to be in the most useful order. Feel free to select the video from any dropdown that aligns with your needs.
