What you need to know
Taking time off — away from your job — is vital to being at your best. We support this by offering ample time off for all kinds of situations.
Paid time off (PTO)
PayPal values your wellness and wants you to take care of yourself and others in a way that best addresses your needs. Our paid time off (PTO) policy provides the flexibility to use your time for whatever recharges you.
You start earning PTO on your first day of employment:
- First year: 20 days
- Each additional year: 1 additional day per year, up to a maximum of 25 days
Leaves of absence
Marriage leave
Employees receive 4 days of paid leave for their wedding.
Bereavement leave
Receive up to 20 days paid bereavement leave for the death of a family member, depending on the relationship.
Sick and medical leave
Employees who become too sick to work are eligible for sick and medical leave.
You accumulate paid sickness days at the rate of 2 paid sickness days for each completed month during the first 12 months and then 4 paid sickness days for each completed month thereafter.
Paid sickness days cannot exceed 120 days at any one time.
Maternity leave
Expectant mothers who have completed 40 weeks of service with PayPal are eligible for 14 weeks of paid maternity leave to support them throughout the latter stages of pregnancy and their child's early months.
Paternity leave
New fathers are eligible for 5 days of paid paternity leave.
Personal leave
If you have exhausted your paid leave, you may be entitled to take leave without pay.
In extraordinary circumstances, PayPal may provide unpaid personal leave for up to 30 days to eligible employees in good standing who need to take time off from work to fulfill urgent personal obligations not provided for under statute.
