Attendance Record
As an employee, it is your responsibility to accurately record your daily attendance status (time worked, leave, overtime, etc.) on your time sheet. As a supervisor, your signature on a time sheet means that you verified the accuracy of your employees’ attendance record.

Personal Leave
Employees are granted five days per year to attend to personal matters. Personal leave accruals are available immediately upon hire and should be utilized by the annual employment anniversary date. In most cases, the annual employment anniversary is the date of hire.
Sick Leave
Employees can accrue up to 13 days in sick leave per year.
Annual (Vacation) Leave
Employees earn 13 vacation days per year. New employees are subject to a six-month waiting period before they may begin to use vacation days. During the first seven years, employees earn additional vacation days for each year worked. For each year occurring after the seventh anniversary, employees will accrue vacation time at a higher rate, approximately 20 days annually.
