Let us help you find the information you need.
Your work/life balance is just as important as the work you do. The Company understands that life is full of responsibilities, challenges, and special moments. That’s why we offer a variety of paid time off programs – to show that we care about you as a person, not just as an employee.
Use the following programs to rest and recharge, care for yourself and your family, meet your personal commitments, celebrate life’s special moments, and more.
The Company observes nine fixed holidays each year – shown in the table below. We also offer flexible holidays each year, which you can use at your discretion, with manager approval. Check with your management for more information, as holidays may change or flex holidays be assigned based on business need.

Four (4) flexible holidays (32 hours) |
You choose when, with manager approval |
Please be aware of other federal holidays that may affect availability (refer to federalholidays.net). Our best practice in the U.S. is to not schedule large meetings or trainings on these holidays.
You accrue hours of flexible holiday time annually.
Except where state or local law requires otherwise, holiday time is prorated for part-time and new employees.
2025
Any unused flexible holidays will be forfeited at the end of each calendar year.
Co-ops, temporary part-time, and seasonal employees are not eligible for any holidays.
For complete details, refer to the policies posted on HR4You.
*If you transfer to a different legal entity or work location, you will be subject to the scheduled holidays at that site. The holiday entitlement is based on a 40-hour work week. The amount of total holidays and flexible holiday hours may vary for employees who work less than 40 hours per week. Union employees should refer to their collective bargaining agreement.
**The United States Country Council reviews the holiday calendar each year and the mix of fixed and flexible holidays may change. Please note: Depending on your location and shift, you may be granted a holiday on the actual holiday instead of the observed day. Most sites are closed on Thanksgiving Day, the day after Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
The amount of vacation time you have available each year is based on your years of service:
|
Years of Service as of January 1 |
Annual Vacation Hours |
Semi-Monthly Accrual (1st and 15th of each month) |
|---|---|---|
|
Up to 5 years |
120 hours |
5.00 hours |
|
5 – 10 years |
160 hours |
6.67 hours |
|
10+ years |
200 hours |
8.34 hours |
You accrue vacation on the 1st and 15th of every month, and you must be employed on the date the accrual is posted. You accrue at the higher rate on the next applicable semi-monthly accrual date after your anniversary. Upon termination, any pay for vacation time taken before it is accrued will be deducted from your final paycheck, except where legally prohibited.
Except where state or local law requires otherwise:
In addition to vacation time, the Company recognizes that you may have additional needs for time away from work due to illness or to attend to other personal business. Instead of offering separate sick time and personal days off, the Company offers a paid time off allowance (TOA) that combines these benefits and gives you flexibility to manage your time off as you see fit.
All full-time employees and part-time employees working 24 or more hours per week are eligible, except employees residing in California, Massachusetts, New York, Seattle WA, or Montgomery County, MD. If you live in one of those states, please refer to the specific time off policy in HR4You.
How the Program Works
On January 1 of each year, eligible employees will be given a bank of 48 hours (prorated for part-time employees and new hires). You can use this time for illness, weather-related conditions if the worksite is not closed, or other personal business, like doctor appointments, caring for a child or family member, attending school activities, etc.
Note: Your unused TOA does not roll over from year to year; any unused hours will expire on December 31. In addition, the Company does not pay out any unused TOA upon termination.
Effect on Pay
Scheduling TOA
When possible, you must schedule TOA in advance with your supervisor. The Company will try to grant every employee’s TOA requests if possible. However, we must have enough workers to meet our day-to-day needs, which means we might not be able to grant every TOA request, especially during holiday periods.
If circumstances such as a medical or family emergency prevent advance scheduling of TOA, you must inform your supervisor as soon as possible that you are taking paid time off.
Because TOA encompasses both sick leave and personal days, you must manage your TOA responsibly to ensure you have time available for emergencies, such as personal or family illness.
