Learn About a Maternity Leave
Maternity leave is designed and covered by Federal or State Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA).
It covers Paid Family Leave (PFL), California Family Rights Act (CFRA), and/or ACE’s Short/Long-Term Disability leave policies.
The decision to approve a request for a Maternity leave of absence is entirely discretionary with your manager and the appropriate Human Resources Business.
Maternity leave of absence can be up to three months in duration in a 12-month period and under appropriate circumstances, up to six months in duration.
For further details please review ACE’s leave of absence policy in the Employee Manual
Notify your manager of your intentions to take this leave to begin the process and conversation.
Contact InsCo, ACE’s third-party leave administrator, or call 1-866-472-8727 (select menu options 2, 3, 3, 2 in this order) .

ACE is required to first exhaust all paid leave options, such as vacation days, and remainder of the Maternity leave will be on an unpaid basis.
ACE will automatically record the time off in the HR/Payroll system, both paid and unpaid.
InsCo will notify you and ACE so that your time can be tracked accordingly in the HR/Payroll system.
Five days before the scheduled return to work, you will need to notify InsCo.
