Sun Life's Family Leave Insurance provides an easy solution
While many large businesses self-fund paid family leave for their employees, self-funding is not an option for many small and mid-sized employers.
Sun Life’s fully-insured solution was designed and built on our extensive company leave program knowledge and industry experience, and is fueled by our advocacy to expand access to paid family leave to more people.
Sun Life’s Family Leave Insurance closes an important benefits gap for small and mid-size employers, making it easier for your employees to meet their family’s health needs.
Offering Family Leave attracts and retains employees, and can improve health and productivity
- Critical bonding time has health benefits for parent and child.
- Paid time away for bonding/family care reasons encourages return to work to the same employer.
- Over 80% of employers who offer paid family leave and personal illness time report positive effects on employee retention.
