It depends on what time of the year you were hired. Staff members hired between January and April receive three personal days. Those hired between May and August receive two personal days. Staff hired between September and December do not receive a personal day for that year because personal days cannot be taken during the introductory period, which is the first four months of employment. Remember that supervisory approval is needed to take these days off.
Personal days are available at the beginning of each calendar year.
They can only be used during that calendar year. This also includes direct steprelations. Three days for a staff member's grandparent, grandchild, aunt or uncle. One day for a staff member's first cousin, nephew or niece. The amount of vacation you are eligible for depends on the month and day you started work at Penn.
