At FedEx, package handler employees can start using PTO after 90 days of continuous service. For every 20 hours worked, they earn 1 hour of PTO. The program offers a “bank” of paid time off for vacation, sick, and personal needs. Any earned and unused PTO gets paid out at the end of the fiscal year.
While at FedEx Ground, from the time of hire, employees can earn up to three weeks of vacation and, after 20 years of service, up to five weeks. However, to take PTO days, a minimum of 30 days work is required, and during peak seasons, only unpaid time can be taken.
