Employees are granted an excused absence.
Employees earn a paid sick day for every month they work.
If they have accumulated any sick leave, they can use it to care for ill family members. Otherwise, they can use vacation time or compensatory time. An employee can use a vacation or personal day, or one of the company's optional holidays. Sick time cannot be used to care for grandparents, siblings or in-laws. But employees may request vacation days or unpaid time off.
