Parents & Carers at Lightspeed

We are committed to being inclusive and supporting all new parents regardless of their role, gender, caregiver status and family circumstance.

Parental Leave

Caring for a new child is an exciting time for all parents! Eligible employees will be able to benefit from up to 24 weeks of paid leave when they become a parent through birth, surrogacy or adoption. The paid benefit and flexible plan design is meant to offer all eligible employees an opportunity for a meaningful parent experience and to cultivate an atmosphere where employees can thrive professionally without sacrificing essential family time.

Flexible Paid Time Off (FPTO) & vacation

Lightspeed believes that time off from work is important, providing employees with the opportunity to relax and enjoy themselves, pursue personal interests, manage ongoing life demands and rejuvenate.

FPTO bundles vacation days, sick days, bereavement leave, personal days, personal/family appointments and more for our employees in Australia and New Zealand.

People Experience

Our trailblazing PX policy is the future of work. PX means you can choose to work fully remote, hybrid or fully in office, not to mention temporarily be based almost anywhere in the world for 60 calendar days per year.

Health apps

Access to ModernHealth, a health app, gives you a one-stop-shop for tools and support related to mental health, stress management and financial wellbeing. We believe that you should be able to get the type of care you need for wellbeing, when you need it.
