Explore your options for vacation, sick, holidays, and family leave.

Vacation

Vacation time is offered based on your years of service and payroll classification. Some employees accrue vacation throughout the year, while others receive an annual allotment.

Sick Leave

Sick leave provides paid time off if you are unable to work due to illness or injury, and you begin accruing sick leave on your first day of employment.

Bereavement Leave

If you experience the death of a family member, you may take paid bereavement leave.

Other Types of Leave

If you are unable to work due to your own medical condition or the need to care for a family member, you may be eligible for protected leave under federal or state law.
