Maternity and paternity leave

Take the time off you need to welcome and bond with the new addition to your family!

Maternity leave

Take up to 182 calendar days (excluding holidays) of paid leave for the birth of your child. Adobe will pay 100% of your salary during both the statutory maternity period—up to 84 days—and the remaining days of Adobe’s maternity period. Your leave can begin at any time 6 weeks before the birth of your child, or up to 6 weeks after the birth.

If you adopt or obtain custody of a child, you are also eligible to take up to 182 days of leave if the child is under the age of 6 years old.
