Flexibility & Time Off
Paid Time Off (PTO)
The Sabre U.S. Paid Time Off (PTO) policy supports a healthy work-life balance, and we encourage you to utilize it. You and your manager decide the number of days you may take at one time, based on both business and personal needs.
The PTO benefit can be used for illness, personal time, children’s school activities and vacation, or as part of your Leave of Absence. Although these days may be taken for a variety of reasons, you will be required to adhere to the guidelines of the PTO program. If you are away from work for an FMLA or Short-Term Disability (STD) qualified life change, you are responsible for following the guidelines of these policies regardless of PTO use.
| Company Seniority Reached in Current Calendar Year | PTO Eligibility Amount | Earn Rate |
|---|---|---|
| New Hires | 5 weeks (Pro-rated base on hire date) | 2.08 days per month |
| 1 year but less than 5 years | 5 weeks | 2.08 days per month |
| 5+ Years | 6 weeks | 2.5 days per month |

Year-End Break
Sabre recognizes the importance of taking time off to recharge your batteries and spend time with your loved ones. Sabre leadership implemented a year-end break that closes all our offices the last week of the calendar year. This Company-wide office closure provides an opportunity for all Sabre team members to take a break and not worry about work, as most team members will be out of the office.
Volunteer Time Off
Full-time team members receive one paid volunteer time off (VTO) each quarter to give back to their communities. As a Company, we value our team members’ volunteer efforts and support their efforts to better their community. Click here for instructions to enter your Volunteer Time Off.
Voting Time Off
Team members are encouraged to fulfill their civic duty by voting in state and national elections. Every effort should be made to vote before or after their regular work schedule.
A team member may take time off to vote on an election day if there are less than two consecutive hours between the opening of the polls and the beginning of the team member’s work day or between the end of the team member’s work day and the closing of the polls. If this situation applies to you, you must notify your manager in advance of an election day. Your manager will work with you to determine the appropriate accommodation to your schedule.
Based on state law, team members are allotted four hours for all states unless noted below:
| State | Hours |
|---|---|
| Arizona | 3 |
| Iowa | 3 |
| Missouri | 3 |
| Tennessee | 3 |
| West Virginia | 3 |
| Wisconsin | 3 |
| Wyoming | 1 |
Coordinate with your leader to schedule your time off for voting.
