Time Off

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

To support a more flexible and streamlined time-off experience, we have combined personal, sick, and floating holidays into a single paid-time off category called Wellbeing Time. It allows you to plan and use your hours in the ways that best support your personal health, and other wellbeing needs.

The total available time-off hours remain the same – they are now combined into one category. Wellbeing Time is submitted like other time-off requests and simplifies your time-off management without having to navigate multiple policies.

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.

We recognize that time away from work benefits not only you, but the Company as well. Your vacation benefit is accrued on a monthly basis and based on your length of service as follows:

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.

Sanofi US offers employees paid time-off for bereavement. For a death in the immediate family, you will be allowed up to ten (10) days of bereavement leave with full pay continuation upon approval from your manager. For a death that is not in your immediate family, you may be allowed up to five (5) days of paid bereavement leave at the discretion of your manager.
