Paid leave accrues based on hours paid per pay period for all employees. Hours paid includes worked hours and other eligible leave taken.

Full-time employees also receive seven standard holidays and two floating holidays per year.
Paid leave may be used for vacation, illness or any other situation that requires an employee to be absent on a workday, with the prior approval of an appropriate supervisor.
Family and Medical Leave
Our family care leave program enables an employee to take unpaid leave to care for a seriously ill family member or child within the first year of birth, adoption or foster care placement. Employees may use medical leave for their own serious health conditions, which will run concurrently with the short-term disability benefits.
