Personal Days Off

After you have completed one year of continuous employment, you will be eligible for three paid personal days each year. You may use this time to observe religious holidays, birthdays, for medical appointments, or any other personal matter.

In addition, you are eligible for time off with pay to vote in any local, state, or federal election.

In order to receive these payments, you must schedule the time off in advance with your manager/supervisor.

A manager/supervisor may approve use of a personal day without advance notice if you have an emergency that could not be anticipated.

If you do not use your three personal days within the employment year, they will not be paid.

Vacation Pay

After six months of full time, continuous employment, you will begin to earn paid vacation.

Vacation time is earned proportionally each month during the employment period or year. You may take vacation up to the amount earned at any given time (subject to carryover rules below). You will earn vacation time according to the following schedule:

Sick Pay

After you complete your probation period, you are eligible to be paid for up to six (6) sick days each year without loss of pay for days taken. You begin to accrue sick pay with your first completed month of employment at the rate of one-half day for each completed calendar month. Sick days taken beyond availability will not normally be paid; however, your department manager/supervisor may authorize payment for up to three days of sick pay to be accrued in the future.

Sick days cannot be accumulated from year to year. You may be paid for any unused sick days in the following year.

Sick days may be used as personal time off if you have received approval in advance from your department manager. In all other cases, sick days may be used only if you are unable to work because of your own illness, or that of your immediate family, and you have properly notified your department manager of the reason for your absence. We may require proof of illness before paying for sick days.

Bereavement Leave

After you complete your probation period, we allow a maximum of two days off with pay if there is a death in your immediate family. For the purpose of this benefit, your immediate family is defined as your spouse, children, siblings, parents, and your parents-in-law.
