Vacation/Paid Sick Leave Policy (Philadelphia, PA work sites) - Metlang
Vacation/Paid Sick Leave Policy
(Philadelphia, PA work sites)
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania has adopted a law that entitles employees who work at least
forty (40) hours per year within the City of Philadelphia limits to up to forty (40) hours of
paid sick leave per year from scheduled assignments in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for
certain specified purposes. The law provides that eligible employees are entitled to
accrue one (1) hour of paid sick leave for every forty (40) hours worked, up to a
maximum of forty (40) hours of paid sick leave per year.
Metropolitan/Metlang uses a consecutive 12-month period based upon the employee¡¯s
hire date for purposes of a ¡°year.¡± Metropolitan/Metlang employees accrue, at a
minimum, one (1) hour of paid vacation time for every twenty-six (26) hours of work,
which is more generous than what is required under the Philadelphia law (i.e., the law
provides for accrual of one (1) hour of paid sick time for every forty (40) hours worked).
Eligible Metropolitan/Metlang employees are entitled to use paid vacation time for
vacation, personal reasons and sick time, as specified in the law. However, employees
are not entitled to additional paid time off under the law. Paid time taken for any
purposes under the law will count against the employee¡¯s paid vacation time.
During the employee¡¯s initial year of employment, he/she will be entitled to use accrued,
paid vacation for the reasons set forth in the law as of his/her 90th day of employment.
For each year thereafter, employees are eligible to use paid vacation time for the
reasons specified in the law as of the start of their anniversary year in accordance with
their hire date, i.e. an employee hired on April 1st would be eligible on the following April
1st to use paid vacation time for such purposes.
Employees who are eligible for leave under the law are entitled to receive written notice
of their rights. A copy of this notice is posted in the nearest Metropolitan/Metlang admin
office and can also be found on our website under the forms
section.
