To help fund a secure and comfortable retirement for you, Pinterest provides you with a Retirement Pension Plan administered by Aviva. This is a retirement savings plan funded by salary sacrifice (also called salary exchange). This means you exchange part of your current cash pay for another benefit. In this case, it means you contribute to the plan through deductions from your pay. As a result, both you and Pinterest pay lower National Insurance Contributions on your reduced salary. You may also pay less income tax, and could increase your take-home pay.
Unless you choose otherwise, Pinterest automatically enrolls you in the plan, with you making contributions of 5% of your base salary. Pinterest also makes a contribution to you account equal to 5% of your base salary.

Pinterest provides paid Parental Leave for parents to bond with a newborn or a newly adopted child. Maternity leave is provided for 26 weeks at full pay, and paternity leave is provided for 20 weeks at full pay. Learn more about Parental Leave in the UK 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.
