As described in the Time Off section, Pinterest provides you with 10 paid sick days each calendar year to cover short term illnesses.
And if you can’t work for an extended period because of illness or injury, Salary Continuance Insurance helps protect your income while you recover. Pinterest provides you with this protection at no cost to you.
After a 90-day waiting period, Salary Continuance pays you a monthly benefit of up to 75% of your monthly base salary, to a maximum of $8,000 AUD per month. You can apply to increase your maximum to as much as $30,000 AUD per month by voluntarily providing your health information for the insurer’s review and approval (medical underwriting).
During the 90-day waiting period, with medical certification you may use your sick day balance until it is exhausted.
You’ll receive Salary Continuance benefits for as long as you’re unable to work, or until you reach age 65 if that occurs first.
For questions about claims or underwriting, email clientoperations@mercermarshbenefits.com or call 1300-265-741.
Pinterest automatically enrolls you for Life Insurance coverage and pays 100% of the premium for this protection.
The plan not only pays a benefit in the event of your death, but also if you suffer total and permanent disability due to an accident, or are diagnosed with a terminal illness.
In each case, the benefit paid is 4x your base salary up to an automatic maximum of $500,000 AUD. You can apply to increase your maximum by voluntarily providing your health information for the insurer’s review and approval (medical underwriting). Please see the following table.
| Type of Benefit | Automatic Maximum Benefit | Maximum Benefit With Underwriting |
|---|---|---|
| Life Insurance Death Benefit | $500,000 AUD | $5,000,000 AUD |
| Total Permanent Disability | $500,000 AUD | $3,000,000 AUD |
| Terminal Illness | $500,000 AUD | $2,000,000 AUD |
If you submit underwriting information and while your application is still under review you die or suffer total and permanent disability as the result of an accident, or are diagnosed with a terminal illness, the amount the plan will pay is an Interim Accident benefit of $1,000,000 AUD.
When you reach age 61, the amount of your Total Permanent Disability coverage amount will reduce by 20% each year until it expires at age 65.

Whether you have children, are expecting, or are thinking about adding to your family in the future, Pinterest supports you with a variety of family benefits.
Pinterest provides 20 weeks of paid Parental Leave for parents to bond with a newborn or a newly adopted child. Whether you are the primary or secondary carer for the child, during those 20 weeks you receive full pay. Learn more about Parental Leave in Australia here.
Returning to work after parental leave can be a big change, which is why we offer a gradual return to work period of four weeks to ensure you have the proper time to ramp up and re-engage in your work. This optional program allows you to return to work part-time, working 1-4 days a week with full pay. You may only take one (1) gradual return to work period per birth, adoption or foster care placement. If you choose to not take all 20 weeks continuously, you may choose which leave block you will use the gradual return to work period. If you would like to take a gradual return, this optional form may help you stay organized. Please align on your gradual return schedule at least 1 month before your return to work.
Due to business needs, in some cases, managers may be unable to accommodate your preferred schedule, subject to any accommodation requests provided for in accordance with medical documentation.
