We understand the need to take time off work to relax, recover from an illness or spend time with loved ones. We offer the following forms of paid time off:

• New Year’s Day
• Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
• Mardi Gras (Floating Holiday)
• Memorial Day
• Juneteenth
• Independence Day
• Labor Day
• Columbus Day
• Veterans Day
• Thanksgiving Day
• Christmas Day
Community Connection
Eligible associates receive eight hours of community time to volunteer each year.
Sick Time
Eligible associates receive up to 12 sick days per calendar year, which can be used for injury or illness, the care of sick members of the immediate family, visits to a physician or dentist, or to satisfy the elimination period for short-term disability. Additionally, associates are encouraged to use up to two of these days for their well-being or personal business that must be conducted during business hours.
Vacation
Eligible associates accrue between 10 and 20 vacation days per calendar year based on their years of service and/or position level for leisure, rest and recreation.
Paid Family Leave
Associates on approved continuous FMLA will be eligible for up to four weeks of paid leave for the following reasons:
- Parental Leave to bond with a newborn child within one year of birth or for placement and bonding with child placed with the associate through adoption or foster care within one year of placement;
- Care of spouse, child, or parent with a serious health condition; or
- Care for a spouse, child, or parent who is a member of the armed services undergoing treatment, recuperation or therapy, or a qualifying exigency arising out of the fact that the associate’s spouse, child, or parent is a military member on covered duty.
Paid Family Leave is limited to one continuous leave of absence per rolling calendar year. Paid Family Leave may not exceed four weeks of pay per rolling calendar year and eight weeks of pay in a three-year rolling calendar year. Approved leaves of absence in excess of these limits may use available time off balances or go unpaid if balances have been exhausted for the remaining duration of an approved leave of absence.
Paid Maternity Leave
Associates who give birth to a child(ren) will be eligible for up to eight weeks of paid leave immediately following the birth of a child(ren) while on approved continuous FMLA leave for recovery. Associates may also be eligible for an additional four weeks of Paid Family Leave to bond with their child. The combination of paid leaves provides the birthing parent with up to twelve weeks of paid leave after the birth of a child(ren) without pay disruption.
If additional time is required for the recovery of the birthing associate beyond the eight-week period, it may be eligible for coverage under short term disability or other paid time off balances.
