Paid Time Off
What to Know
We do important work, but it’s essential that you take time away to relax, recharge, and enjoy the finer things in life. Qnity offers you several options to spend time away with those you love.
Note: If you need additional time off beyond your paid leave, Qnity also offers additional unpaid time off, with manager approval under the Qnity Family Leave.
Holidays
Qnity offers 13 paid holidays, which include Qnity designated holidays and personal holiday(s).
Qnity designated holidays may vary, depending on work location. We encourage you to refer to your local site HR for your holiday schedule.

Vacation Buying Program
Need a little extra R&R? Each year during your enrollment period, regular, full-time employees can buy up to 40 additional hours of vacation time for the following year through the Vacation Buying Program. You’ll pay for extra vacation time with pre-tax dollars deducted from each pay period this year.
Important Things To Note
- You can purchase vacation only during your Annual Enrollment period (held in the fall of each year).
- You’ll pay for extra vacation time with pre-tax dollars deducted from each pay period.
- You can only buy 40 hours of vacation time per year.
- Purchased vacation will be used last. This means that you must use all types of vacation (e.g., accrued vacation, carried-forward vacation from the prior year) before using your purchased vacation.
For more information about the Vacation Buying Program and how it works, we encourage you to read the Vacation Buying Program guide.
Sick Time
All employees must enter their sick time through UKG (Time System). If unable to do so, please contact your manager or the Disability and Leave administrator, Sedgwick, to enter the request on your behalf. All employees must follow site procedures for reporting absences.
Out of the office due to a long-term illness or injury?
If you’re facing a long-term illness or injury, it’s critical to call our Short-Term Disability administrator, Sedgwick, as soon as possible so you can begin the claims process and avoid any lapse in pay.
