Financial

Pension

To help fund a secure and comfortable retirement for you, Pinterest offers you a pension plan administered by Icatu Seguros. If you choose to enroll, you make contributions to your plan account though convenient deductions from your paycheck, which you can place in various investment options offered by the plan.

Each month, Pinterest also matches your contribution up to 2% of your monthly gross base salary for the first $5,000 BRL you earn. For any amount you earn over $5,000 BRL, Pinterest matches up to 5% of your monthly gross base salary.

To further add to your savings, you may also make additional voluntary contributions to your plan account beyond the amount which receives a match from Pinterest.

To enroll in our pension plan, complete this enrollment form and send it to peoplecare@pinterest.com.

If you have any questions about the pension plan or filling out the form, please contact Genilde Soares Brandao with Icatu at gbottiglia@icatuseguros.com.br for assistance.

The amount of the disability payment you receive is calculated according to a Icatu Seguros “Percentage Table” and is limited to a maximum insured amount described in the insurance plan policy.

Gradual Return to Work

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.
