Time away from work helps you balance work and life, refresh and care for your personal needs.
Most U.S. salaried, nonunion employees now receive Paid Time Off (PTO) rather than separate allotments of paid Vacation or paid Sick Leave.
- With Paid Time Off (PTO), you accrue time-off hours in a single bank of time and can use that time for any reason. The rate at which you accrue PTO increases as your time at Boeing increases. The longer you’re here, the more PTO you’ll receive.
- With Vacation and Sick Leave, you receive separate banks of time off that are dedicated to vacation time or illness time. If you’re covered by Vacation and Sick Leave, you’ll receive sick leave upon hire, and your sick leave bank is updated annually. As your tenure with Boeing increases, the rate at which you’ll accrue vacation will increase, too; the longer you’re here, the more vacation time you’ll receive.
Boeing provides paid holidays each year. Most employees are eligible for a standard fixed holiday schedule and one floating holiday per calendar year. Generally, the standard 12 holiday schedule includes:
- New Year’s Day
- Memorial Day
- Independence Day
- Labor Day
- Thanksgiving and the Friday following Thanksgiving
- Winter Break (six days, Christmas Eve through New Year’s Eve)
If you work at a location that follows a different holiday schedule, your holiday schedule may differ.
You’re encouraged to fulfill your civic obligations, including serving on a jury or as a witness. You will be granted time off with pay in order to appear for jury duty, testify as a witness for the company, respond to a subpoena to appear as a witness in any legal proceeding or appear at arbitration.
You may take paid time off for absences related to the death of a family member or other person to whom you are close. Please contact Worklife at 866-473-2016.
Employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement should refer to their agreement for information on the applicable bereavement leave programs.
Boeing-sponsored program eligibility may differ for subsidiaries, certain business unit programs and union-represented employees. Terms applicable to union-represented employees are subject to the applicable collective bargaining agreement.
