Time Away from Work

Taking time off helps you rest, care for your health, and be present for life’s moments. Ensign-affiliated employers provide paid time off for vacation, sick time, and holidays.

For details on accruals and observed holidays, see your Employee Handbook in Workday.

Family and Medical Leave (FMLA)

Employees of Ensign-affiliated operations may qualify for job-protected FMLA leave.

Eligibility

To be eligible, you must have been employed for a total of 12 months (excluding any seven-year break in service) and have worked at least 1,250 hours in the 12 months before your leave starts.

What FMLA Covers (up to 12 weeks unpaid)

• Your own serious health condition
• Care for a family member with a serious health condition
• Military exigency leave
• Baby bonding after birth, placement, or adoption

State Leave

Some states offer additional or different leave benefits. Check the Leave of Absence Index for options where you work.
