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 day to the end of your first calendar year—15 days, prorated according to number of days with the company
  • Each additional calendar year—1 additional day per year, up to a maximum of 20 days

If you require more than 30 days of sick leave, it will be unpaid. In this case, Social Security will provide 50% of your pay for up to 90 days per illness, up to the maximum limit of THB 7,500 per month, and for a total of 180 days each year.
