Benefits Handbook Links - Updated February 2023

• Who have successfully completed their 90-day introductory period of employment;

• Who have exhausted or will exhaust all of their available accrued but unused PTO and sick leave.

Allowances/Accrual. PTO and sick leave do not accrue during the period of an approved unpaid or paid LOA. During the period of an approved unpaid or paid LOA, 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 LOA 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. 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. Return to Work. If you are granted a leave of absence and are able to return to work at the time specified in the leave approval, we will make an effort to place you in a position for which you are qualified, in Venable’s judgment, and one that is as similar in content and compensation as possible to the position you held before the leave began. However, because business needs change, we are not able to guarantee that a position with Venable will be available to you when you are scheduled to return. Decisions on whether to offer you a position upon your return
