Overview
Perceptive understands this and provides a generous time-off program for all employees, whether you’re full-time, part-time, intermittent, or Perceptive temporary, including interns. (Contingent workers and agency temps are not eligible.)
Sick Time
Even the most health conscious people get sick sometimes. When that happens, you can count on Perceptive to allow you time to rest or receive treatment. Sick time is accrued per year based on your position (regular full-time, regular part-time between 30 and 39 hours), regular part-time between 20 and 29 hours, and Perceptive temporary. You may use your accrued annual sick leave for your illness or for the illness of a covered family member.
Time Off
Paid time off (PTO) is accrual-based and varies with service time, position, and location. PTO is paid at the employee’s base pay rate at the time it is used. It does not include overtime or any special forms of compensation such as incentives, commissions, and bonuses.
Regular full-time and regular part-time employees are eligible for the following paid holidays

Leaves of Absence
Family leave
Sometimes you need to take an extended period away from work to care for a new baby or family member or to recover from an illness. Through the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), you may be eligible to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave.
Qualifying situations include:
- Your own serious health condition that makes you unable to perform the functions of your job (runs concurrently with short-term disability (STD).
- A serious health condition of your child, spouse, or parent that requires you to care for that family member.
- The birth of a child that requires you to take time off to care for the child (six or eight weeks depending on vaginal or Cesarean childbirth; will run concurrently with STD).
- The placement of a child with you for adoption or foster care.
- Covered military family leave.
Family leave eligibility
To be eligible for Family and Medical Leave:
- You must have worked for the company for at least 12 months and at least 1,250 hours during the year preceding the start of the leave.
- There must be at least 50 company employees within 75 miles of your work site.
Personal leave
If you have exhausted your vacation time, you may be able to take an unpaid leave of absence for nonmedical personal matters, including family matters not covered under Family and Medical Leave.
Military leave
To support your service to your country, you may be eligible for an approved leave of absence consistent with the requirements of the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA).
