Benefits Handbook Links - Updated February 2023

Note: You may also be eligible to receive a disability benefit. Please refer to the full short-term disability policy here for further disability information. Your leave of absence will begin on the first day you cannot work for a reason that qualifies under Venable’s leave policies exclusive of PTO. You are required to use all of your available accrued leave (sick and PTO) prior to going on unpaid status. Allowances/Accrual. PTO and sick leave do not accrue during the period of an approved unpaid or paid MLOA. During the period of an approved unpaid or paid MLOA, you will not be paid for any Venable holidays and you will not be entitled to paid leave for jury duty or bereavement. PTO and sick leave will be accrued as of the last day worked. If you are on an approved MLOA on January 1 of any year, you will not be credited with your PTO, or sick leave for that year until you return to work on a regular basis. Disability. Please note that eligibility for or receipt of short- or long-term disability benefits does not automatically entitle you to be granted a leave of absence. For additional information, you may refer to the Short- and Long- Term Disability provisions of this handbook. Scheduling Leave. Please inform your supervisor of the need for leave and submit an application to the Benefits Department at benefits@venable.com. This request should be submitted as soon as you have reason to believe that you will need to be away from work. An approved LOA will not be extended beyond the dates of the initial request without further written approval.
