Leaves

At Citi, we want to help all of our employees thrive, both professionally and personally. We’re committed to supporting you and your family through all of life’s most important moments, whether that be the birth of a child, caring for an aging parent or another significant event. As part of that commitment, we offer leaves from work so you can focus on family, yourself or other personal responsibilities.

This page describes the different leaves available at Citi and the process for taking a leave.

Becoming a parent or expanding your family is an exciting time in your life. To give you the time you need to bond with your child and nurture your growing family, Citi offers 16 weeks of paid parental leave for all new parents. This offering demonstrates our commitment to supporting your total emotional, physical and financial well-being by providing an equal standard of family leave for everyone.

Review the table below to understand the leave options available to you as a birth parent or non-birth parent. You are eligible for these leaves after just 30 days of service at Citi.

Paid Leave Program	Who Is Eligible	Reason for Leave	Leave Details
Paid Pregnancy Leave (PPL)	Birthing parent*	For disability and recovery related to childbirth	Six weeks (for traditional birth) or eight weeks (for C-section) of job-protected leave paid at 100% of base pay, beginning on the date you give birth.
Paid Parental Bonding Leave (PBL)	All new parents*	To care for and bond with a new child, whether through birth or adoption	16 weeks of job-protected leave at 100% base pay.

*In the U.S., this program is available to all regular full-time or part-time Citi employees scheduled to work 20 or more hours per week who have been actively at work for 30 days from their hire/rehire date.

You may also be eligible for state or local leaves. When you contact MetLife to apply for a leave, your MetLife case manager will work with you to understand how state or local benefits coordinate with Citi policies.

In addition, Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) leave may run simultaneous with other family leaves. Keep in mind that our parental leave runs concurrent with any similar leave taken under federal, state or local law.

When a close family member is seriously ill, you want to be there for them. Citi supports you during this difficult time with our Caregiver Leave. This provides up to two weeks of paid leave per year to care for an immediate family member who has a serious health condition that involves a period of incapacity and is not capable of self-care.

Caregiver Leave is intended for use when your immediate family member needs help with their own self-care because they are experiencing a serious disabling condition, such as:

• Actively undergoing cancer treatment
• Experiencing pregnancy complications
• Recovering from an accident, surgery, a stroke or heart attack
• Living with a degenerative disease, such as Alzheimer’s
• Receiving outpatient treatment for substance abuse

Examples of how Citi’s Caregiver Leave may be used include:

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is a federal law that ensures eligible employees are able to take a job-protected leave for specified family and medical reasons.

In addition to offering job-protected leave in accordance with the FMLA, Citi also provides paid leave, as described throughout this page. Our company leave programs typically run concurrently with and are counted toward all other leave entitlements, such as FMLA and applicable state law. Similarly, any approved Short-Term Disability (STD) or Workers’ Compensation leave will run concurrently and will be counted toward any leave entitlement under Citi’s Family and Medical Leave (FML) Policy, the FMLA, and applicable law.

Consult the FML Policy via Citi For You for details about eligibility, duration and compensation related to your leave.

Leaves that fall under Citi's Family and Medical Leave (FML) Policy include:

*A total of up to 13 weeks of unpaid leave is available for any combination of these reasons.

In addition to the leaves already mentioned, Citi offers a variety of other leaves to address the diverse needs of our employees. For eligibility information and more details, consult Citi For You.

The following information guides you through the steps you should take before, during and after your leave.

Review the Leaves Overview for more details about how to communicate with your manager about your leave and what to expect during your leave.

During Your Leave

It’s important to understand how your benefit contributions will work while you are on leave.

• During paid leave: Your health and benefit contributions, including Citi Retirement Savings Plan contributions, will continue to be deducted from your pay, except for Dependent Care Spending Account (DCSA) and Transportation Reimbursement Incentive Program (TRIP) contributions.
• During unpaid leave: You will be billed for your portion of health and insurance benefit premiums during any period of unpaid leave, except for DCSA and TRIP spending accounts.

Other things to keep in mind during your leave include:

• Reach out to your manager as your approved leave comes to an end to confirm your return-to-work plans (and the leave administrator, if applicable).
• Reach out to your Citi Health Concierge and/or Be Well counselor if you need help navigating your health care or life’s challenges.

After Your Leave

You must return to work on your agreed-upon date with MetLife and/or Citi, as applicable. If you require additional time away from work, reach out to MetLife or HR, depending on the type of leave.

If necessary, speak to your manager to enter your return to work date into Workday once you've returned to work so there is no interruption with your pay.

Contact either MetLife or HR if you require accommodations to enable your return to work, if needed.
