Before the transfer can be completed, you must be an official member of the Pinterest Plan. This means being signed up to the Zurich scheme and having your first contributions invested and applied. You should also have received your policy documents.
There are some important considerations to keep in mind before transferring your pension. Please contact Mercer at aspire@zurich.com to discuss these considerations in more detail.
Pinterest provides 10 paid sick days each calendar year to cover short term illnesses. If you can’t work for a longer time because of illness or injury, Short-term Disability and Income Protection benefits provide you with a source of income while you recover. Pinterest provides you with this protection at no cost to you.
If you are unable to work for more than seven consecutive days because of an injury or illness, Short-term Disability continues to provide you with 100% of your pay for up to 26 weeks.
If you’re unable to work because of illness or injury for longer than the 26 weeks covered by Short-term Disability, you can begin receiving Income Protection benefits for long-term illness.
If your claim is approved, you receive benefits equal to 75% of your base pay – minus any government benefits you receive, to avoid duplication.
You’ll receive Income Protection benefits for as long as you’re unable to work or you reach age 65, whichever comes first.

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 (26 for birthing parents) weeks of paid Parental Leave for parents to bond with a newborn or a newly adopted child. For either maternity or paternity leave, during those 20 (or 26) weeks you receive full pay – minus any government benefits you may receive, to avoid duplication.
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.
