Time Off
Taking time off is an important part of sustaining balance in your personal and work life. Be sure to take the time you have earned and deserve.
Vacation
You earn vacation based on your years of service and the number of hours you are regularly scheduled to work.

-
Part-time: Prorated vacation accrues based on your regularly scheduled hours of work up to 80 hours per pay period maximum.
-
New Hires: Vacation accrues from the date of hire but is available for use only after completion of your probationary period.
Note:
- Maximum accrual for employees is based on the 80 hours per pay period maximum. Even if you are scheduled to work less, your maximum accrual is based on 80 hours per pay period maximum.
- You can carry over the maximum accrual amount year to year, but you won’t begin accruing more PTO until time is used.
- Upon termination, your PTO balance will be paid out at 50%.
Accrual Schedule for Directors & Above
All incentive-eligible employees who hold the position title “Director” or a title above are frontloaded 39 days of PTO each year, regardless of tenure. The seven paid company holidays are included in these 39 days of PTO.
Unused PTO is not paid out upon termination and expires at the end of the year. On January 1, your frontloaded PTO balance resets to 39 days.
Sick Time
If you are regularly scheduled to work 20 hours or more per week and are employed at JHCBS for at least 90 days, you are eligible for paid sick time.
- Regular full-time employees: Sick time is accrued at the rate of 2.15 hours per pay to a maximum of seven days per year.
- Regular part-time employees: Sick time is accrued on a prorated basis. For example, if you work 30 hours per week, you will accrue sick time at 75% of the full-time rate of 2.15 hours, which is 1.61 hours per pay (30/40 x 2.15).
You must notify your supervisor each day of absence at least one hour before your shift begins (or in compliance with departmental procedures). Your supervisor may require a doctor’s certificate.
If you are absent due to a contagious illness or out of work on sick leave for three or more workdays, the employee occupational health office must clear you before returning to work.
