Rethink is a free employee benefit that gives families 24/7 access to tools and resources to help you and your support team understand, teach, and communicate better with your child who has special needs.

Through your Kindbody benefit, you have access to fertility and family-building services like egg freezing, IVF, and adoption/surrogacy reimbursement. You’ll receive best-in-class care at clinics that are modern, warm, and welcoming, and have access to a dedicated Care Navigation Team – available to guide you through your journey and give you peace of mind, every step of the way.
Pinterest covers up to 2 KindCycles per member per lifetime for fertility treatment services including in vitro fertilization (IVF), intrauterine insemination (IUI), and egg/embryo/sperm preservation.

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, please align with your manager at least one month in advance of your return date. Learn more about gradual return here.

We all need time off to relax, recharge and discover and do what we love. At Pinterest, we offer various options depending on the reason for your time away.
For salaried employees, we have a non-accrued vacation policy, which means we don’t accrue time off, and there isn’t a set number of hours of vacation time available. See full policy here.
Hourly employees receive 15 days of paid vacation per year, accruing 5 hours per pay period. Vacation hours are tracked on timesheets. See full policy here.
If you’re considering taking a vacation, notify your manager and peers, and agree upon time before taking off. Vacation should not be used in place of sick days or a leave of absence.
If you’re not feeling well, we encourage you to stay home, rest and get better! Pinterest provides sick time to be used for short term illnesses (including COVID-19) or to be taken as mental health days. See full policy here. Pinterest will also pay for public emergency leave, which includes any Covid-19 related reasons and leave as required under applicable local ordinance.
If your illness lasts more than 10 consecutive work days or you have an ongoing medical condition that caused you to miss 10 non-consecutive work days, please contact The Larkin Company, our leave administrator, to see if you’re eligible for a leave of absence: pinterestleaves@thelarkincompany.com. You can also complete this intake form to initiate with Larkin.

Please note: The subsidy can apply to either transit or parking orders but no more than $150 between both elections. You must sign up by the 10th of the month, to start contributing for the following month. (Example: You must sign up by March 10, to use the benefit in April.)
