Time Off Request

Earning Paid Time Off and Sick Leave

Following the guidelines of the City of Chicago, Paid Time Off and Sick Leave are earned via hours worked. You earn SL at 1 hour : 35 hours worked and PTO at 1.5 hours : 35 hours worked

Carry Over

Up to 40 PTO hours and up to 80 SL hours can be carried over an annual schedule.

Approval Process

Advanced Requests, with 4 weeks notice, are usually approved but not always gauranteed.

Short Notice Requests, less than 4 weeks notice, are subject to roster availability.

Rosters can not drop below 60% of the regular schedule.

No time off approval in first 90 days unless approved during the hiring process.

Sick Time

If you are sick or feeling sick, we would prefer you take the time to recover rather than push through and risk making others ill.

You need to contact your coordinator as soon as possible so they can work towards rescheduling any guests or coverage that may be needed. Texting in or waiting till just before a shift is not an acceptable way to communicate the needs you have.

If requesting paid leave, use the above time off request page.

Tracking

Your earned time off will be added and tracked via your Monthly Sidekick
