PayPal Observed Holiday Falling on a Day Off

Unless otherwise required by law, holidays are only offered on the announced day. Therefore, unless otherwise stated by the Company, when a holiday falls on a non-working day (including any paid or other time off from work), employees will not be permitted to take the holiday on an alternative date.

Talk to your manager about your options for taking any additional time off.

Religious Time Off

For employees that celebrate religious holidays or events outside those that are federally recognized:

  • Employees can discuss with their manager or site HRBP available time off options. If there is a need for an accommodation, employees should reach out to Employee Advocacy to discuss options. Please note that approved time-off accommodations require the use of available Paid Time Off (PTO) or will be unpaid if PTO is not available.
