Paid Time Off & Sick Leave

To work at the highest ability, employees need to take time away from their job for rest, recreation, and important personal matters.  To accommodate those needs, we offer a generous time off program.  As an employee, you will accrue paid time off and sick leave, as well as receive bereavement leave, and paid leave for jury duty.

Paid Time Off (PTO)

Every employee accrues Paid Time Off (PTO) hours automatically, based on length of service at CHLA.  PTO is your bi-weekly accrual of hours that may be used for vacation, holidays or personal matters.  Hours accrue based upon hours worked.

Sick Leave

Sick Leave is time accrued to allow you to take time off with pay for an absence from scheduled work due to personal illness or injury. One half of your annual Sick Leave accrual may also be used for absences required to care for the illness or injury of the employee's child, parent, spouse or certified domestic partner or the domestic partner's child(ren). 

The intent of Sick Leave is to insure the eligible employee against the potential loss of wages in the event of an absence due to illness or injury.  Eligible full-time employees accrue 3.69 hours of Sick Leave per pay period.  Part-time employees accrue .046 hours per hour paid.
