Common use of Discretionary Time Off Clause in Contracts

Discretionary Time Off. You may take paid time off from work (for vacation, wellness, to care for another, etc.) at your reasonable discretion, provided that you coordinate such time off with, and obtain approval, from your direct manager in advance. Discretionary time off is paid based on your regular base pay. You must ensure that you manage your time off in a manner that prioritizes work responsibilities while balancing personal needs and/or commitments. You are expected to meet deadlines, customer needs, and all job performance requirements, as well as coordinate coverage for your responsibilities during any period of absence. If extended time off in excess of five (5) consecutive business days is needed for a reason other than vacation, you must contact your direct manager. In that situation, appropriate Company management will need to approve the absence and determine whether (and to what extent) the absence will be paid or qualify as a leave of absence under the law or our policies. You will not receive any payment at termination for discretionary time off. The Company will interpret and apply its time off benefits to comply with all national, state, and local laws.
