Female employees who are having a baby or who are adopting a child under 18 years old are eligible for 182 calendar days of Adobe-paid maternity leave. There is no minimum service requirement before employees are eligible for this benefit.

While on maternity leave, sales employees will be paid 100% of total target compensation (TTC), and non-sales employees will be paid 100% of base salary. This leave must be taken in one continuous block. Refer to the Korea Maternity and Paternity Leave Policy [PDF] and APJ Maternity and Paternity Leave FAQs [PDF] for more details.

Male employees who have been in continuous employment with Adobe for at least three consecutive months and are having a baby or who are adopting a child under 18 years old are eligible for 16 calendar weeks of Adobe-paid paternity leave.

While on paternity leave, sales employees will be paid 100% of total target compensation (TTC), and non-sales employees will be paid 100% of base salary.

Paternity leave must be taken in one continuous block and must be completed within six months of the birth or placement date of the child.

The minimum Adobe-paid paternity leave period is 30 days. If you return to work before the full 16-week entitlement, any remaining days will be forfeited. If employees do not meet the minimum service requirement for Adobe-paid paternity leave, they can use the statutory paternity leave entitlement of 10 days. Refer to the Korea Maternity and Paternity Leave Policy [PDF] and APJ Maternity and Paternity Leave FAQs [PDF] for more details.

When you have decided on the type of parental leave that you wish to take, please follow these steps:

1. Speak to your manager at least 10 weeks before starting the leave, and agree on the dates for your leave.
2. Review the Korea Maternity and Paternity Leave Policy [PDF] and the APJ Maternity and Paternity Leave FAQs [PDF].
3. If you have any questions, submit a request via the Support Center.

We understand that it may be hard to predict how long you will be away from work. If you alter your start and/or end dates, please submit a request via the Support Center at least 15 days in advance to avoid any payroll implications.
