Sick and carer leave

Adobe provides up to 14 sick days each year so you can take care of yourself, a family member or a household member. Family members include:

  • Spouse
  • Domestic partner
  • Children and grandchildren
  • Parents and grandparents
  • Siblings
  • In-laws

A household member is anyone who lives in your house.

Schedule your leave in advance with your manager, then submit your request through Workday.

If you are sick, make sure to speak to your manager if you can’t come into work. Your manager may ask you to provide a doctor’s certificate. If you are away from work for five consecutive days or more, you must provide a doctor’s certificate to the ERC.

If you need to take sick time, but don't have any available, you may borrow from your annual leave balance.
