Paid Time Off (PTO)
PTO is available for you to take time away from work and spend it the way you want to.
You’re entitled to 15 days of PTO per year.
How it works
Your PTO accrues monthly starting on your hire date. You can take your available balance at any point during the year.
We encourage you to take your annual PTO within the allotted year. However, if you have unused PTO at the end of the year, it can be carried over into the next year. PTO does not expire.
Paid leaves of absence
Depending on your leave, supporting documentation may be required. Please visit HR Hub for more information (this page is only accessible within the PayPal firewall).
Sick leave
If you are sick and can’t work, PayPal pays you 100% of your salary for up to 5 days of absence.
