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:

  1. are a full-time regular (non-casual and non-temporary) employee,
  2. have had at least six (6) continuous months of employment since your most recent date of hire, and
  3. 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
 4-Week PPL Qualifications
If you are a birth parent, 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 four (4) weeks of PPL to bond with your child(ren).

You can take four (4) weeks of Paid Parental Leave (PPL) to bond with your child(ren) if:

  • You are a birth parent.
  • Your spouse/domestic partner gives birth to a child.
  • You adopt a child or have a child placed for foster care (child must be age 17 or younger).
  • You have a child placed with you by surrogacy.

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.
