For you to be at your peak both physically and mentally, it’s important to maintain a proper work/life balance. Parexel understands this and provides a generous time-off program for all employees, whether you’re full-time, part-time, intermittent, or Parexel temporary, including interns. (Contingent workers and agency temps are not eligible.)
Parexel provides time off policies that allow you to determine for yourself (consistent with the demand and responsibilities of your job) how much time to take off from work.
Routine Time Off is available for eligible employees. The RTO policy provides you the flexibility to take time off as you see fit without having to worry about how many hours you’ve accrued or balances.
For more information, review the routine time off policy.
