If You Get Sick, Injured or Need to Care for a Loved One
When you’re feeling crummy, take the time you need to care for yourself or your family.
Disability
Available for Full-Time Krispy Kremers
Disability insurance allows you to receive a portion of your paycheck while you’re out on short- or long-term disability. You’re eligible for disability coverage after 30 days of service.
- If you’re a salaried Krispy Kremer, Krispy Kreme provides you with both short-term and long-term disability at no cost to you. Short-term disability pays 100% of your base pay for the first 13 weeks and 60% of your base pay for the next 13 weeks. Long-term disability (LTD) coverage pays benefits if your disability continues beyond the 26-week period.
- If you’re an hourly Krispy Kremer, you can elect short-term disability (STD) coverage and long-term disability (LTD) coverage. If you’re out on disability, STD pays 60% of your base pay for up to six months of disability (up to $500 per week). If your disability continues beyond six months, the LTD plan begins to pay benefits. You may be eligible to receive 60% of your base pay (up to $1,516.67 per month).

- Are bonding with a newborn, adopted child or a child in foster care
- Are a military caregiver
You need to have worked at least 1,250 hours during the 12 months prior to the start of FMLA.

Maternity Leave

Full-time hourly Krispy Kremers who are enrolled in the STD benefit are eligible for 6 or 8 weeks of maternity (STD) leave, depending on type of delivery. STD benefit pays 60% of your base pay. Full-time hourly Krispy Kremers are not eligible for paid parental leave.
