Capital One Financial Corporation
McLean, VA · founded 1994
Capital One is one of the largest banks in the United States and the country's biggest credit-card issuer, headquartered in the Capital One Tower in Tysons/McLean, Virginia. Founded in 1994 by Richard Fairbank and Nigel Morris, it built its business on data analytics and now positions itself as a 'tech company that happens to be a bank,' with heavy investment in cloud and machine learning and large engineering and data-science populations in McLean, Richmond, New York, Chicago and Plano. Benefits are strong for a big bank: 20 weeks of birthing-parent leave, a 401(k) match up to a 7.5% contribution, an $800 annual well-being fund, on-campus health centers and 15 days of backup care. The honest caveats are that it is a large, performance-oriented financial institution subject to credit cycles and periodic reorganizations, and it operates a hybrid, in-office-leaning model rather than remote-first.

the legal floor where they are
Set by law, not by Capital One Financial Corporation. It applies to every employer in McLean, VA.
| IVF cycles the state covers | THERE IS NO FEDERAL MANDATE. No US law requires an employer health plan to cover IVF or any infertility treatment, so coverage comes either from the insurance mandate in the state where the plan is written or from the employer's own choice. And the state mandates reach less far than they look: they bind fully insured plans bought from a state-regulated carrier, while a self-funded employer plan is governed federally under ERISA and is preempted from state insurance regulation. KFF's 2025 employer survey puts 67% of covered workers in a self-funded plan, and 80% of those at firms of 200 or more — so at the size of employer this site mostly covers, the state mandate usually does not apply, and any fertility benefit is a genuine company choice rather than a restatement of law. That is precisely why it belongs on a benefits page here. Perks has not yet read this employer's own state insurance mandate from an official source; the states that have been read carry their own entry. (No federal statute requires an employer health plan to cover infertility treatment or IVF. The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) preempts state insurance regulation as applied to self-funded employer plans, which is why a state mandate does not reach them.) |
|---|---|
| Adoption leave the law gives | 12 workweeks of UNPAID job-protected leave in any 12-month period on the placement of a child for adoption or foster care, and only for employees who meet the FMLA eligibility test. There is no federal paid adoption leave. (Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, 29 U.S.C. 2612(a)(1)(B) and 2612(c); eligibility at 29 U.S.C. 2611(2) and (4). Quoted from the 2023 edition of the US Code.) |
| Pay when you are ill | No federal law requires any paid sick leave. The FLSA does not require payment for time not worked, and the FMLA gives 12 workweeks of UNPAID job-protected leave in any 12-month period for a serious health condition, and only for employees who meet the FMLA eligibility test. Any paid sick time comes from a state or city law, or from the employer's own choice. (Fair Labor Standards Act, per the Department of Labor's statement on payment for time not worked; Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, 29 U.S.C. 2612(a)(1)(D) and 2612(c). Quoted from the 2023 edition of the US Code on govinfo.gov.) |
