Balancing Responsibilities

A good balance between work and life makes for a more productive, inspired and innovative workforce. That’s why we’re committed to helping our employees maintain a healthy balance between their responsibilities at work and at home. We are confident that one of the programs and services we offer will help make your life a little easier.

Holidays and Vacation
As an employee, you will receive nine pre-scheduled holidays in addition to three discretionary holidays available for use whenever desired throughout the year. You will also receive competitive vacation benefits enabling you to take time off from work to rejuvenate, revitalize and recharge.

Flexible Work Options
When needed, you can work with your management team to explore our flexible work options to determine if one will meet both your work and personal responsibilities. For example, you may be able to alter the start and end time of your work schedule, work from home or work a part-time schedule.

Employee Assistance Program
If you or a dependent family member have a situation that requires legal or personal advice, our employee assistance program provides access to professional help for many situations.

Personal Leave of Absence Program
If needed, you may take a temporary personal leave, which includes Family and Medical Leave and other leaves in accordance with state and federal laws.

Supplemental Parental Leave 
If needed, you may take supplemental parental leave, as a mother or father, to help nurture and bond with your new born, adopted, or placed child. The leave provides two weeks of paid parental leave and three weeks unpaid for a total of five weeks

Site Conveniences 
At some sites, you will have on-campus conveniences such as a Bayer Store with over-the-counter products available at subsidized costs, an employee cafeteria, medical facility and wellness programs.
