Time Off

Annually, Sanofi US publishes one holiday schedule that applies to all U.S. employees, and one for all Puerto Rico-based employees.

In addition, all employees will receive two (2) floating holidays*. These floating holidays will be available for use at the employee’s discretion, with manager approval, for the personal observance of a holiday or personal celebration, such as a birthday or anniversary. Floating holidays may not be carried over into the next calendar year and will not be paid out.

* This is not inclusive of Personal Days, which are covered in our vacation policy.

As part of Sanofi’s commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), participation in company-approved volunteer activities is covered by our volunteer policy, which allows Sanofi employees to engage in company-approved activities, on behalf of the company, up to two (2) working days (16 hours) per calendar year, subject to the needs of the business and manager approval.

Sanofi US recognizes that flexibility in the workplace is an important benefit for many of its employees.

Sanofi US encourages its employees to fulfill their civic responsibilities, including serving as jurors and grand jurors. In an effort to promote such service, the Jury Duty policy provides protection of employment, benefits, and pay during the performance of jury duty. If you receive a summons for jury or grand jury duty, you must notify your manager so that consideration may be given to coverage during your absence. Additionally, a copy of the notice to serve jury duty should be provided to your manager upon request. Jury duty days off are provided as needed.
