Time Off

Work-Life Balance

As a part of our work-life balance priority, we offer our employees two flexible time off programs, paid holidays, and other types of time off.

Paid Time Off (PTO) for Non-Exempt Employees

Full-time non-exempt employees are eligible to accrue PTO after successfully completed one full payroll period of employment.

Years of Service PTO Accrual
Per Year
PTO Accrual
Per Pay Period
0-5 120 hours (3 weeks) 4.62 hours
6-10 160 hours (4 weeks) 6.16 hours
11+ 200 hours (5 weeks) 7.70 hours

Flexible Time Off (FTO) for Exempt Employees

Our FTO program gives exempt employees the flexibility to take time off when needed, without worrying about accruing hours. FTO is not intended to be used in place of a leave of absence or to extend a leave of absence. You may use only five business days at the beginning of a Short-Term Disability to offset the waiting period. Refer to our leave of absence page for more information.

Other Time Off

We also offer other types of time off including:

  • Jury and witness duty
  • Volunteer Time Off (VTO) Program
  • And more!
