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)
- You receive 25 days (200 hours) of PTO per calendar year, which is earned at the rate of 16.67 hours at the beginning of each month
- You are encouraged to avail time off to rest and recharge and spend time with your loved ones
Sick Time Off
All regular employees are eligible for 7 working days of Sick Time Off each year. Sick Time Off is to be used when you're ill and is not to be used to care for a sick family member.
You accrue Sick Time Off at the beginning of the calendar year with accrual starting over at the beginning of each year. Unused Sick Time Off is not carried over to the following year, and you cannot cash it out. If you're a new hire, your balance is prorated based on your start month.
You may use Sick Time Off for half a day as well, if needed. Apply for Sick Time Off through Workday (page accessible within the PayPal firewall).
Bereavement leave
Receive up to 20 days paid bereavement leave for the death of a family member, depending on the relationship.
Parental leave
Maternity leave
Expectant mothers are eligible for 26 weeks of paid maternity leave.
Paternity leave
You receive 6 calendar weeks (42 calendar days) of paid paternity leave for birth of a child or for adoption of a child 12 years old or younger.
Adoption leave
Female employees who legally adopt a child who is 12 years old or younger qualify for up to 16 weeks of paid leave.
Community Impact leave
Through our charitable giving initiative, PayPal Gives, you are eligible for paid community impact time off at 100% of your base pay for 8 hours per year while volunteering at a qualifying charitable organization. Community Impact time off is available after your first year of employment.
