Vacation and holiday policy

Lab members are encouraged to use their vacation time to recharge, to visit family, to travel, or to do whatever the heck you want. 

Scripps observes 12 paid holidays per year, as described in the TSRI holiday policy.

Full time employees also accrue Paid Personal Leave (PPL), Extended Sick Leave (ESL) and Sick Bank Leave (SBL) according to TSRI leave policy. Graduate students and postdocs in the Su Lab are entitled to 15 days of PPL per year.

California reinstated its requirement that private employers with more than 25 employees provide each full time employee with at least 80 hours of paid sick leave for specific reasons related to COVID-19; part time employees are entitled to COVID-19 Sick Leave based on their appointment percentage.  Scripps Research’s existing Policy 141 governing COVID-19 Sick Leave was renewed effective January 1, 2021.

All vacation days should be marked on the Su Lab Google Calendar (contact Andrew or Ginger if you need access) and pre-approved by Andrew, or Chunlei.
