Time Away from Work
To balance your work and personal lives, you may sometimes need time away from work. CVS Health offers a variety of time-off policies to meet your needs.
Parental leave
If you are a full-time colleague with one year of service welcoming a child through birth or as a new adoptive or foster parent, you can receive up to four weeks of leave with pay.
Bereavement
In the unfortunate event of death in your family, you can receive time off with pay to attend the funeral, memorial or other related ceremony.
Holidays
CVS Health observes a number of federal and state holidays each year. Holiday observances are posted at your work location and may vary by state.
Jury duty
If you are called to serve on a jury, you’ll receive time off with pay.
Military duty
CVS Health follows the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA). In addition, CVS Health provides for supplemental pay for up to five years equal to the difference between what you earn while serving or training and what you would normally earn at CVS Health.
Military Spouse
A CVS Health military spousal leave may be taken to relocate or transfer to a military installation outside the CVS Health jurisdiction, to support a spouse or domestic partner who is called to active emergency military duty in the uniformed services.
myTime
myTime is a combined bank of vacation, personal, CME and sick days that eligible colleagues can use to take time away from work. Annual myTime allocation is determined at the beginning of each year based on your benefit service date and job grade. myTime accrues as follows:
PTO Accrual
Years of service | Days accured annually | Hours accrued annually |
|---|---|---|
0 - 2 | Up to 16 | Up to 128 |
3 - 9 | Up to 21 | Up to 168 |
10 - 19 | Up to 26 | Up to 208 |
20 plus | Up to 29 | Up to 232 |
Above schedule is based on a 40-hour work week and is prorated for those working fewer hours.
New hires will be able to see their myTime on the 1st of the month following their hire date. For example, if someone is hired on January 15th, they will begin to see their myTime accrual on February 1st. If you need to use myTime prior to your benefits eligibility date, you should obtain approval from your supervisor in advance.
You are responsible for tracking myTime usage accurately and promptly within the pay period it is used — using Workbrain or the designated tools on Colleague Zone (Managers and Educators only).
