Personal Days
We understand that each and every person that joins OneLocal has their own unique needs when it comes to personal needs and wellbeing. Because of this, we provide employees 5 Personal Days per calendar year, in addition to your annual vacation entitlements.
Personal days can be used for things like:
Sick days
Mental health days
Attending personal or health appointments
Bereavement leave
Providing you salary continuance during unpaid leaves such as jury duty
Religious holidays (not already recognized as one of the Ontario mandatory civic holiday)
Important Notes about Personal Days
They should only be requested in half-day or single-day increments; they are not intended to be used for more than one consecutive day
If you need to use your Personal Days more than one consecutive day due to illness or injury, please note that OneLocal may request a doctor’s note after three consecutive days away
They cannot be carried-over from year-to-year
Unused personal days will not be paid out at the end of the year
Please try to give your manager as much notice as possible when you want to use a personal day, but in some cases (for example sick days and mental health days) this may not be possible and that’s definitely okay
To request to use a Personal Day, please submit a time off request in BambooHR, by selecting “Personal Day” as the time off type and reach out to your manager so they can ensure business continuity.
