Time Away & Caregiving

PTO & Bereavement Leave

Overview

AEO offers Paid Time Off (PTO) to help you rest and recharge. AEO also offers bereavement leave when you’re dealing with the loss of a loved one.

PTO

Who’s Eligible?

You’re eligible for PTO if you’re a regular full-time associate.

Part-time and temporary associates are not eligible for PTO but may be eligible for paid sick leave or other paid leave in accordance with state law.

How PTO Works

  • You get a PTO bank. You get a bank of PTO hours that you can use as you wish — for both sick days and vacation days. PTO time is paid at your base pay rate.
  • Accrue immediately. You start to accrue PTO benefits immediately upon hire or when you become eligible due to a transfer or promotion.
  • Use PTO after the 60th day. You can use your accrued PTO benefits after your 60th day of full-time service, unless otherwise required by law.
  • Check in with your supervisor. Talk to your supervisor/manager about scheduling your PTO days.

Bereavement Leave

Who’s Eligible?

If you’re a full-time associate, you’re eligible for bereavement leave on your hire date.

How Bereavement Leave Works

The bereavement leave policy provides paid days off for bereavement leave due to the death of a loved one.

The number of days you can take depends on the loss that you experience. The exact number of days of bereavement leave that you will receive will be determined by your supervisor and/or the AEO Benefits Department in accordance with the eligibility requirements detailed above. Determinations may be based on the distance you must travel for the services and the extent to which you are involved in the arrangements.

What If I Need More Time?

If you need additional time, you may be able to take accrued PTO and/or request an unpaid leave of absence. Please check with your supervisor or the AEO Benefits Team for more details.
