Holidays

Roswell Park Cancer Institute observes twelve (12) paid holidays per year, two (2) of which are designated as floating holidays to be used at a later date.

Vacation Time

Roswell Park Cancer Institute has a very generous paid vacation program that allows eligible employees to immediately start accruing paid vacation time. After six (6) months of service, employees are able to use accrued vacation time. The Institute rewards employees for length of service by increasing the amount of vacation time that is accrued throughout an employees’ career.

After one year of service, all eligible employees will accrue thirteen (13) days of vacation time. Part-time employees earn vacation time at a pro-rated rate. Eligible employees are also awarded bonus time based on length of service. Bonus time is prorated for part-time eligible employees, and all bonus time is given on the anniversary date of employment.

After seven (7) years of employment, full-time employees earn vacation in the amount of ¾ day per bi-weekly pay period, up to nineteen and a half (19.5) days annually.

Personal Leave

Full-time employees are credited with personal leave on their first day of employment and on their anniversary date each year thereafter. Eligible part-time employees earn personal leave at a prorated rate. Employees have the ability to use personal leave within one (1) year of receipt of accruals. Personal leave is intended to allow employees time for personal business and religious observances and may be used upon the commencement of employment.

Sick Leave

Sick leave is intended to protect employees from loss of income due to illness or a death in the family. Full-time employees are able to earn up to thirteen (13) days of sick leave annually. Eligible part-time employees earn sick leave at a prorated rate.

Other Leaves

Leaves may also be granted for military reserve training, military duty, Family Sick Leave, jury duty, and Family Medical Leave.
