Eligible staff may qualify for up to 6 weeks of paid leave.

Rhodes Enterprises is proud to announce the addition of a Paid Family Leave Policy to their already competitive and comprehensive staff benefits and total rewards program. The new policy will allow staff members who are designated as primary care givers, to be eligible for at least two weeks of paid leave for the birth or adoption of a child. An eligible employee may qualify for up to 6 weeks of paid leave based on their cumulative tenure with the organization.

“Rhodes is committed to being the best place to work by cultivating a culture of belonging. With the introduction of this new paid leave policy, we want our team to know that we truly value, appreciate, and support them.”

Nick Rhodes, President and CEO of Rhodes Enterprises

The Rhodes Paid Family Leave Policy, which went into effect on April 1, 2022, may be used in combination with accrued time off and voluntary short- or long-term disability insurance policies made available through Rhodes. In addition, staff will continue to accrue and be eligible for benefits during their leave under this policy, because the organization will continue to pay company paid benefit premiums. Unpaid leave may also be taken in accordance with the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) of 1993.

“Promoting a healthy balance between work and life for our staff is important,” said Misty Martin, Vice President of Administrative Services. “We are excited to introduce this new benefit and support our team in their journeys into parenthood.”

Rhodes has already established itself as a Mother & Family Friendly Workplace by ensuring mothers have the resources they need, to maintain their baby’s overall health and wellness when they return to work. Beyond supporting mothers, Rhodes gifts every team member with growing families with a unique “Baby Box Bassinets & Starter Kits” containing essential baby products and a safe sleep environment for their new bundle of joy.
