adoption. As strong supporters of women in business, Pure Romance acknowledges that during these times, business‐as‐usual is not
always an easy option. Therefore, we are pleased to offer the Family Expansion Override Allowance:
Consultants can request to have their monthly Retail sales minimum required to receive bonuses waived for a period of two
calendar months for the birth of a child, or placement of a child for adoption or foster care.
The Family Expansion Override Allowance waives the monthly Retail Sales minimum required to receive an Override Bonus.
Lifestyle Bonuses that require minimum sponsoring, are not covered by this waiver as well as trips and/or other special
incentives offered seasonally.
Requests must be made within 7 days of the birth or placement of a child.
Pure Romance will acknowledge an Override Allowance request when the Consultant herself is giving birth or her spouse for
those in same‐sex marriages. For adoption or placement of a foster child, Pure Romance will require that the Consultant be
listed as a legal guardian of the child to be eligible for the Family Expansion Override Allowance.
To request a Family Expansion Override Allowance, Consultants will be required to complete a Family Expansion Override
Allowance request form, which can be found on the Consultant Online Office. When submitting the completed form to the
corporate office, the Consultant must provide a doctor’s confirmation or legal documentation as proof of the circumstances.
In situations of confidential adoptions or other special circumstances, Consultants may contact the corporate office and
request to speak with a member of the Executive staff for help in handling the request.
Consultants may request one Family Expansion Override Allowance per calendar year.
