Personal Days Policy

The Company provides its staff with personal days to meet personal and individual needs. Full-time and part-time employees with benefits may take three personal days per calendar year. Personal days must be approved in advance, except in cases of emergency. Days taken off the day before or the day after paid holidays will not be recognized as personal days and no payment will be made for them.

No personal days may be taken during the first six (6) months of employment. You may not carry over personal days into the next calendar year. Employees are not paid for unused personal days. Personal days may not be taken in units of less than one-half of a day.

Note: In states or localities with mandatory paid sick leave laws, or with laws restricting forfeiture of earned time off (such as "use it or lose it" bans), the waiting period, no-carryover, and no-payout terms above may not be enforceable as written and this policy must be adjusted to comply with the law of the jurisdiction where the employee works. Consult counsel before applying this policy where such laws apply.

General information, not legal advice. Treat this as a drafting starting point, not a finished policy — employment law varies by jurisdiction and changes often, so have a licensed attorney tailor it to your situation before you rely on it.
