Depending on location, full-time employees receive up to twelve (12) days or ninety-six (96) hours of paid sick time per year. Part-time employees are eligible for six (6) days or forty-eight hours of paid sick time per year.
Proofpoint generally provides 10 paid holidays per year for employees. The dates and holidays observed are subject to the calendar year.
Taking time to rest and recharge matters. Take time away from work to rest, reset, and recharge in the way that works best for you. All employees are allotted two Recharge Days per year.
