Follow these steps to ensure a smooth process and timely support:

  1. Review the leave policies.
    Visit the People Portal for more information about the types of leave available, eligibility requirements, and how to submit your request.

Workplace Illness or Injury

If you’re injured on the job or have a workplace-related illness, the Nutanix workers’ compensation program provides medical treatment covered at 100% if you seek medical care at a designated location. You’re automatically enrolled and eligible for workers’ compensation benefits as of your first day of employment.

If you experience a work-related illness or injury, follow these steps:

  • If you experience a medical emergency, first call 9-1-1 immediately.
  • Alert Security at 408-669-5535.
  • Report the incident to the Health and Safety team by submitting a work ticket in ServiceNow. Click the Environmental, Health and Safety Request tile. Next select “Report an Injury or Illness” from the Category drop-down menu.
  • Confirm a nearby authorized occupational clinic to seek medical care, evaluation, and treatment (for non-emergency care).
  • Inform your manager and keep them up to date.
  • In the event you must stop working due to a work-related injury or illness, you'll need to submit a medical leave of absence claim. Contact Prudential at 877-367-7781 to request a leave of absence and apply for Short-Term Disability benefits.

Family and Medical Leave (FMLA)

Sometimes you need to take an extended period of time away from work due to a medical reason, to bond with a new baby, or to care for a close family member with a serious health condition.

Through the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), you may be eligible for 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave during a 12-month period. FMLA runs concurrently with other applicable state, local, and/or company leave(s), including leaves that provide pay. Learn more about eligibility and how to apply.

Parental Leaves

Maternity/Pregnancy Leave

Maternity/pregnancy leave is available to provide you time away to recover and spend time with your family during a joyful time. A birth parent can take up to 14 weeks of 100% paid leave for time away during pregnancy, delivery, and recovery time after childbirth.

Maternity/pregnancy leave is provided in addition to parental/baby bonding leave. Depending on your state of residence, you may be eligible for additional time off under local regulations.

To help you understand your eligibility and ensure you receive the full leave benefits you're entitled to, Prudential, our leave of absence administrator, will guide you through the process. Learn more about your options and how to initiate a leave request.

Parental/Baby Bonding Leave

Take up to eight weeks of 100% paid leave to bond with your new family member. This leave can be taken within the first year after a child’s birth, adoption, or foster care placement. Learn more.

Once your child arrives—whether through birth, adoption, or foster care placement—you may be eligible for up to eight weeks of 100% paid parental leave to bond with your new family member. Depending on your state of residence, you may be eligible for additional time off under federal and local regulations.

Paid leave eligibility is based on your hire date:

  • Employees with less than six weeks of service may take up to four weeks of paid leave.
  • Employees with six or more weeks of service may take the full eight weeks of paid leave.

This leave can be used anytime within the first year following your child's arrival. Learn more.

Medical/Disability Leave

If you become ill, injured, or disabled and are unable to work for more than five consecutive business days, you may be eligible for a medical leave of absence. This type of leave ensures compliance with company policy and may run concurrently with other applicable leave programs, including FMLA, state or local leave laws, and Nutanix's internal leave policies.

Leave for your own health condition may qualify you for Nutanix's Short-Term Disability (STD) program, which provides partial income replacement during your recovery period. Eligibility for STD is determined by Prudential, Nutanix's leave administrator, based on medical documentation provided by you and your healthcare provider. Learn more.

Military Leave

To support your service to our country, you may be eligible for an approved leave of absence consistent with the requirements of the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA). Learn more.
