Sun Life, a Toronto-based financial services, life insurance and benefits provider, is expanding its paid family and medical leave benefits for all of its U.S.-based employees, giving workers more paid time off and the option to take time to care for non-family members.
The expanded benefits will allow Sun Life employees to better care for themselves and their loved ones, the company says. The employer also is offering a “chosen family” benefit, which will allow the employee to care for someone who may not be blood related. The new program covers approximately 3,500 employees and goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2020.
