Adoption Assistance Program
Financial Assistance for Adopting Parents
Hertz offers financial support for employees who adopt a child through the Adoption Assistance program. You’re eligible for assistance if you’re a full-time regular (non-casual and non-temporary) employee with at least 12 continuous months of employment.
You can receive a benefit up to $5,000 per eligible child you adopt, for up to two children per employee. If your situation qualifies, the program reimburses you for a portion of eligible expenses after the adoption is legally final, including:
- Adoption fees
- Attorney fees
- Court costs
- Travel expenses while away from home (including meals and lodging)
- Other reasonable and necessary expenses directly related to the legal adoption of a child (i.e. uninsured medical expenses for the adopted child and/or birth mother, along with immigration, immunization, and translation fees).
Eligible Children
Any child under age 18 who is not a blood relative (including a foster child) or previously adopted child of you or your spouse. If the child turns 18 during the year, the child is eligible for the part of the year he or she is under age 18 (unless physically or mentally incapable of self-care).
Claims for Reimbursement
To receive reimbursement, you’ll first pay for qualified expenses and save your receipts. Then, file a claim form within 90 days of the date the adoption is legal.
The Adoption Assistance policy can be found at hertz.policytech.com.
Paid Parental Leave (PPL)
Taking Leave as a New Parent
Hertz offers Paid Parental Leave (PPL) for new parents to recover from birth and to spend time with a new child. You’re eligible for PPL if you:
- are a full-time regular (non-casual and non-temporary) employee,
- have had at least six (6) continuous months of employment since your most recent date of hire, and
- meet the qualifications below.
If you are returning from layoff following a break in service of less than two (2) years, you are treated as a continuing employee and your length of service is based on your adjusted service date.
Questions? To speak with a Leave Specialist, call 1-800-654-3373 and select option 2. Support is available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET (7 a.m. to 7 p.m. CT).
| 10-Week PPL Qualifications |
2-Week PPL Qualifications |
| If you are a birth mother, you can take eight (8) weeks of Paid Parental Leave (PPL) due to physical inability to work after the birth of a child or children. You can take an additional two (2) weeks of PPL to bond with your child(ren). |
You can take two (2) weeks of Paid Parental Leave (PPL) to bond with your child(ren) if:
Adoption of a stepchild is excluded from PPL. |
PPL must be completed within six (6) months of the child’s birth, adoption, foster placement, or surrogacy placement.
Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) & Short-Term Disability (STD)
All time off under Short-Term Disability (STD) and Paid Parental Leave (PPL) is concurrent with the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA).
Example: If you’re a birth mother, you’ll receive 10 total weeks of PPL (eight weeks to recover, plus two weeks to bond). If you choose to take 12 weeks of FMLA time, two of those 12 weeks will be unpaid.

Critical Illness Insurance
Critical Illness Insurance helps with out-of-pocket expenses for covered illnesses like a heart attack or cancer.
If you experience a covered critical illness, the plan pays a lump-sum benefit on initial diagnosis. You select either $15,000 or $30,000 as your benefit amount and can use the money any way you choose. This benefit is in addition to other insurance coverage you may have.
- Critical Illness benefits are paid directly to you (unless otherwise assigned) as a lump sum, based on diagnosis or event.
- Cover yourself, your spouse/domestic partner, and your children without answering health questions. Your covered spouse/domestic partner can have coverage of 50% of your benefit and children are automatically covered at 50% of your benefit at no additional cost.
- Additional and reoccurrence benefits are also included.
- You do not have to be terminally ill to receive the benefit.
- Includes a $50 annual Health Screening benefit that provides for certain diagnostic tests (for example, Pap smear, colonoscopy, or mammography).
