Find your applicable PTO and sick-leave rules
Amounts, accrual, eligibility, and use depend on the published policy that applies to your work location and circumstances.
This fictional Northstar example does not state a balance, accrual rate, eligibility rule, pay term, or deadline. Check the current approved guidance in Policy Hub and follow its request instructions. If Leave Management is the configured route for your leave type, use that app to submit or check a request.
Do not assume a request is approved until the appropriate process confirms the outcome.
Paid time off or sick leave?
Planned time away
Vacation and personal days; request ahead in the time off app.
Illness or care
For your own illness or caring for a family member; tell your manager as early as you can.
Common questions
Use the approved guidance and established help route for your situation.
Where can I verify my balance and accrual rules?
Check the applicable published PTO and sick-leave guidance and the balance information available through your organization’s configured Leave Management process. This example does not specify amounts or accrual rates.
What if I cannot find the request route?
Ask People Operations through the established channel to identify the current route. Do not treat this page as confirmation that a request was submitted or approved.
Where should I share sensitive information?
Use only the confidential channel identified by your organization or the applicable policy. Avoid sending sensitive personal details through a general contact route unless you are directed to do so.
Use the configured request process
Leave Management is the app for requests where the applicable local process is connected.
Follow the instructions shown in Leave Management for your leave type.
If your leave type or question is not covered there, check Policy Hub or ask People Operations through the established channel.
