Paid Time Off Policy Update Reminder

News from August 14, 2023

The University of Pennsylvania has expanded its ample paid time off (PTO) benefits. After thorough review and consultation with leaders from across our schools and centers, Penn has updated its Paid Time Off Policy with increased accrual rates for new and recently hired staff members. The policy revisions went into effect on July 1, 2023. 

This policy revision strengthens the University’s ability to recruit talented staff at all experience levels and maintain our competitive position among the best employers in the nation. These enhancements to Penn’s attractive and equitable paid time off policy will benefit the whole Penn community by reinforcing work-life balance and well-being for new staff and long-standing employees alike.
