Sick Time

At VMware we encourage a healthy work environment. You are entitled to take Sick Time, with the understanding that sick time days are to be used solely for recovering from an illness or injury that is not covered by the social security administration. Illnesses and injuries that are covered by Social Security are covered by Medical Leave.

Eligibility

All Colombia Regular full-time and part-time employees who are employed directly by VMware.

Entitlement

You are entitled to forty-eight (48) hours of paid Sick Time days per calendar year, which is the equivalent of six (6) eight (8) hour days. Sick Time days may be taken in minimum increments of four (4) hours. Sick Time days are paid at 100% of your base salary.

Sick Time days are not eligible for carry-over. Unused balances expire at the end of the calendar year, and a new balance will be credited at the beginning of the new calendar year.

Scheduling Sick Time

• All Sick Time days planned or unplanned, must be discussed with your manager. If an absence is unexpected, you should notify your manager as soon as reasonably possible.
• Once agreed with your manager, enter your Sick Time in Workday [VMware network access required].
