Paid Time Off When Baby Arrives
Time off to bond with a new born, adopted child, or child placed in your care is important, which is why Marvell provides up to 12 weeks of paid time off* to care for and bond with a new child. Create an HR ServiceNow ticket (Category: Benefits) at least 30 days in advance of your time off to schedule a meeting with the Leave of Absence Specialist. During the meeting, the Leave of Absence Coordinator will provide you with an overview of the leave process, answer your questions, and provide you with a Marvell Baby Onesie. Post a photo of your Marvell Baby on the #marvell-brand Slack channel!
*Eligibility requirements for the 12 weeks of paid leave can be found in the Leave of Absence Guides and the U.S. Employee Handbook on HR ServiceNow.
Maternity Leave
At least three months prior to your due date, please create an HR ServiceNow ticket (Category: Benefits) to schedule a time to meet with the Leave of Absence Coordinator to talk about your time off options. After the disability portion of the leave, you are eligible for 12 weeks of paid time off to bond with baby within a 12-month period (before baby turns 1).
Bonding Leave
Create an HR ServiceNow ticket (Category: Benefits) at least one month prior to the baby's due date to meet with the Leave of Absence Coordinator and talk about time off options. The non-birthing parent is eligible for up to 12 weeks of paid time off to bond with baby within a 12-month period (before baby turns 1).
Flexible Return to Work Program After Bonding Leave
Employees who are returning to work from their first instance of Bonding Leave following the birth, adoption or foster care placement of a child in their care have the option to return to work at a reduced work schedule, working a minimum of 20 hours per week, for up to 4 consecutive weeks. The employee will be paid their full wages and remain eligible for all benefits as a full-time employee. For employees who elect to take Bonding Leave in non-consecutive increments (e.g., the employee takes 8 weeks of Bonding Leave immediately after the child’s birth, and 4 weeks of Bonding Leave when the child is six months old), this benefit applies only when returning to work from the first instance of Bonding Leave. Full-time U.S. employees (exempt, non-exempt) working at least 30 hours per week are eligible for this program. Interns are not eligible to participate in this program. Please review the full policy in the U.S. Employee Handbook.
How to apply:
Step 1: At least four weeks prior to the end of Bonding Leave, discuss your return to work plan with your manager.
Step 2: All employees (exempt and non-exempt) must submit a Request for the Flexible Return to Work Program through Workday:
- Log into Workday and click on “Menu”, select “Employee Custom Requests” then “Flexible Return to Work Program After Bonding Leave”.
- Select the start and end date that you will be on a flexible schedule.
- Your request will be sent to your manager for approval.
Step 3: For Non-exempt (hourly) employees only: Log any time off that you take under this program on your timecard in Workday.

Coming Soon!
Free SNOO Rental
Employees receive a free 6-month infant safe sleep bassinet rental, SNOO by Happiest Baby. The newborn phase is hard, but we hope that SNOO will help employees rest easier knowing their baby is safely resting on its back.
Why SNOO?
Boosts Sleep, Calms Crying Quickly
- On average, SNOO boosts sleep 1 – 2+ hours with the soothing shushing and gentle rocking that babies loved in the womb.
Keeps Your Baby Safer
- SNOO is the only bassinet that secures your baby safely on the back, as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
- The FDA has granted De Novo anuthorization to SNOO Smart Sleeper as a medical device—naming it as the first product to effectively keep babies on their back when sleeping. Infants who sleep on their back have a lower risk of death from SIDS and SUID.
