• Paid Holidays – You may be eligible for 13 paid holidays each year; 14 holidays during an election year.

Expectant mothers may also use sick leave for pre-natal or post-natal check-ups or any illness related to pregnancy.

• Other Leaves – Reasonable time off with pay may be provided for jury or witness duty, a death in the family, some military duty, and donation to the Blood Bank. Leave sharing donations may be granted to eligible employees who have serious personal illnesses or injuries or need to care for a seriously ill or injured family member.
