At Union Kitchen, we all work hard to contribute to the success of the Company, each in different capacities. In an effort to recognize everyone’s contributions and create a well-balanced life, we have created a Paid Time Off (PTO) policy to provide you with the flexibility of using PTO to meet your personal needs, while recognizing your individual responsibility to manage your paid time off. The following PTO policy outlines specific time off for vacation time-off and sick leave for all employees. Part-time employees and seasonal or temporary employees are not eligible for vacation, only sick time.
