Families are created in a variety of ways, and Organon supports you in your journey to parenthood and beyond. Our family support benefits also help with caregiving and educational support.
Organon offers paid time off and several types of leaves of absence. Each type can apply to different situations. For more information, see the sections below and review the Paid Time Off and Leaves of Absence Policy and the U.S. Maternity and Parental Leave Guide.
“Thanks to Organon’s paid care leave policy, I was able to allow myself the time to process my grief and support my family as we figure out our new “normal” following the passing of my sister-in-law. I encourage my colleagues to learn about care leave and use it when you need to.”
Founder testimonial
Care Leave provides pay continuation and/or time off (up to 10 days) when caring for a loved one and/or to address other personal matters such as family planning or home emergencies not covered by other local policy or statutory leave.
Organon provides 12 weeks (prorated for part-time founders) of full pay within the first 12 months following the birth, adoption or foster placement of a child.
Organon provides paid time off for U.S. employees who experience the death of a loved one with whom they have a close relationship or suffer loss of an unborn child due to miscarriage or stillbirth. Up to 20 scheduled working days can be used within 12 months from the date of the death of a loved one or unborn child. Time off may run consecutively or intermittently for each occurrence and can be requested in half day increments.
Organon provides U.S. employees with unpaid leave to care for a newly born child, adopted child or a child placed in a foster home.
“I used Wellthy to help find a therapist for my son and Courtney was so helpful. She was always very quick to respond and provided regular updates. She was organized and took initiative to follow up with providers and ask all my questions. In addition to Courtney being amazing, it was also very easy to use the portal to communicate and upload necessary documents.”
