Employee Perks

Paid Time Off (PTO)

To promote the importance of work/life balance, all employees begin earning Paid Time Off (PTO) immediately. PTO may be used for vacation, sick time, and any other personal reasons.

Holidays 

Simon Pearce observes two holidays (Thanksgiving and Christmas) and normally closes all locations.  Eligible employees receive pay for these holidays. We recognize that there may be other holidays that employees may want to be away from work to celebrate. Employees should utilize their PTO for these holidays.

Other Paid Leave

Eligible employees receive up to three days of bereavement leave upon a death in their immediate family. When serving jury duty, eligible employees receive their regular pay.
