Time Away from Work

We all need time off, whether it’s to recharge, recuperate or handle family responsibilities. PNC provides time-off programs for almost every situation.

This page provides general information only. For details about all of PNC’s time-off programs, refer to the policies available on Pathfinder.

PNC provides paid vacation, holidays and paid occasional absence (OA) days, as described below.

Vacation: Full-time (including RSP) employees accrue vacation time according to an established schedule. The full-time schedule is below.

Carry-over: You may carry over up to three accrued, unused regular (company-provided) vacation days to the following year. The days must be used in the first quarter of the year and before any current company-provided accrued days.
Please note: Certain state laws, such as in California and Colorado, may require specific handling of vacation allowance and vacation accrual. Where this is the case, state law will prevail.

  • Are an active, full-time employee or a Reduced Schedule Professional (RSP); and
  • Will have at least two years of continuous service with PNC as of Jan. 1 of the following year.

Employees in the state of California do not have OA days but do have Paid Sick Days instead; refer to the OA days policy on Pathfinder for details.

Maternity Leave is covered under PNC’s Short-Term Disability (STD) program.

Key Features

  • Birth mothers who have at least one year of full-time or Reduced Schedule Professional (RSP) continuous service as of the date of leave are eligible for 10 work-weeks of Maternity Leave, payable at 100% of eligible compensation, starting with the first day off work (no elimination period is required). Eligible birth mothers also receive eight weeks of Paid Parental Leave (see below).
  • Birth mothers who have at least 90 days but less than 12 months of full-time or RSP continuous service as of the date of leave are eligible for six work-weeks of Standard STD, payable at 60% of eligible compensation, subject to an elimination period.
  • Leaves extending beyond the applicable six or 10 work-week duration due to medical reasons will be subject to STD or Long-Term Disability (LTD) policies, as applicable.

For details, see the Short-term Disability and Maternity Leave Benefits Summary Plan Description (SPD) or call the HR Service Center at 877-YOUR-PNC (968-7762).

Eligibility and Key Features

  • The policy requires 90 days of full-time, RSP or part-time continuous service before the date of a birth or in conjunction with an adoption to be eligible for Parental Leave.
  • Parental Leave is available to the biological or adoptive mother or father, or the legal spouse/domestic partner of the birth or adoptive parent.
  • Eligible employees may take up to eight work-weeks of time off, paid at 100% of regular salary, to care for and bond with a new child.
  • Time must be taken within one year after a birth or in conjunction with an adoption, and it must be taken in whole work-week increments. If both parents work for PNC, each is entitled to eight work-weeks, as long as they meet service eligibility requirements.

For more information, please refer to the Parental Leave policy on Pathfinder or call the HR Service Center at 877-YOUR-PNC (968-7762).

Provided by PNC at no cost to you, STD protects your income if you are ill, injured or recovering from childbirth or surgery. Birth mothers with at least one year of full-time or RSP service are eligible for 10 weeks of Maternity Leave as described above.

Eligibility and Key Features

  • If you have 90 days but less than one year of continuous full-time service and have satisfied the seven-day elimination period, you may receive 60% of eligible compensation for up to six work-weeks for an approved disability.
  • If you have at least one year of continuous full-time service and have satisfied the seven-day elimination period, you are eligible for up to six work-weeks at 100% of eligible compensation for an approved disability, then up to an additional six work-weeks at 60% of eligible compensation.
  • STD benefits may begin when you are unable to return to work for more than seven consecutive calendar days (or the equivalent of the sixth consecutive working day if your work schedule is 48 hours or more within seven calendar days, not including overtime).
  • Benefits may continue for up to a total of 12 work-weeks if you remain disabled.
  • You must be under a medical doctor's care, provide proof of disability and be approved for STD benefits by the claim administrator in order to receive STD benefits.

Long-Term Disability benefits can provide income replacement to help you pay your mortgage, credit card bills and other regular living expenses while you’re recuperating for longer than the period covered by STD (13 weeks).
