A handful of major announcements for employees of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were made Wednesday in a memo distributed to church employees.

The LDS Church, which is the largest employer in Utah, made five major health and wellness changes for its employees in an effort to align its policies and benefits with other national businesses.

Church employees, including employees at Brigham Young University and other church-owned colleges, will now receive six weeks of paid maternity leave to recover from childbirth. Employees also now have one week of paid parental leave, which new mothers may stack on top of their maternity leave.

Additionally, major changes are coming to church employees dress codes. Women who were previously confined to skirts and dresses in their dress code may now wear pantsuits and dress slacks. Men can now wear light-colored dress shirts as opposed to white shirts 24/7.

Men may also now remove their suit jackets when the weather is too hot.

The dress code changes do not apply to church-sponsored schools like BYU, where the dress codes were less restrictive than at the Church Office Building or on Temple Square.

For church employees working on Temple Square, including in the Church Office Building, a new wellness center will be opened in October 2017 on the seventh floor of the Church Office Building. It will include cardio and weightlifting equipment, group fitness studios and exercise classes.

Wellness programs will also be available for all full-time employees, whether they work at Temple Square or not.

In late December 2017, full-time employees will have the peace of mind of a short-term disability plan.

According to the memo, after seven days of being ill, injured or otherwise disabled, employees can receive two-thirds of their salary from day eight to day 45.

More information on the short-term disability plan will be available to employees during open enrollment in October.
