Sick time

Take time to recover if you're feeling under the weather.

Exempt employees

Adobe provides up to 10 sick days each year so you can rest up and get well. Sick time may be used in hourly increments and carries over from year to year. You will earn sick time until the 10-day “cap” is reached. However, it is not paid out to you when you leave Adobe.

In some scenarios, such as just starting at Adobe, if you need to take sick time, but don't have any available, you may be able to borrow up to five days of sick time. Please notify your manager as soon as possible.
 
If you become ill, are under a doctor’s care, and need to take more than five consecutive days of sick time off, you must apply for a medical leave of absence.

Non-exempt employees

Your paid time off (PTO) [PDF] can be used when you are ill to cover the first five days of an illness. If you need more than five days, you need to apply for short-term disability benefits.

California non-exempt employees

Non-exempt employees in California are provided two types of time off: paid sick time and accrued PTO.

You will have a bank of 5 days (40 hours) of sick time in Workday available to you at the start of each calendar year. You can use this for your own illness, preventive care, to care for a family member, or for any other reason specified in the updated U.S. Time Off Program for Non-Exempt Employees Policy [PDF].
