By Robert Palmer

Are you curious about how vacation time works at CVS? As an employee, it’s important to understand the policies and procedures surrounding your time off. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at how CVS vacation time works and what you need to know.

How Much Vacation Time Do You Get?

As a CVS employee, the amount of vacation time you receive will depend on your position and length of service. Generally speaking, full-time employees are eligible for more vacation time than part-time employees.

New Hires

If you’re a new hire at CVS, you’ll start with 10 days of vacation time per year. This includes full-time and part-time employees.

1-4 Years of Service

After your first year with the company, you’ll be eligible for an additional day of vacation time per year up to a maximum of 15 days. This applies to both full-time and part-time employees.

5+ Years of Service

Once you’ve been with CVS for five years or more, you’ll be eligible for up to four weeks (20 days) of vacation time per year if you’re a full-time employee. Part-time employees who have been with the company for five years or more are eligible for up to three weeks (15 days) of vacation time per year.

How Do You Request Vacation Time?

Requesting vacation time at CVS is a simple process. You’ll need to submit a request through MyHR, which is accessible through the Employee Portal on the CVS website. Here’s how:

  • Login to MyHR using your credentials
  • Select “Request Time Off” from the menu
  • Select the date(s) and duration of your requested time off
  • Submit your request

It’s important to note that your request for vacation time is subject to management approval. Make sure to submit your request as early as possible, especially during peak vacation seasons.

What Happens If You Don’t Use Your Vacation Time?

If you don’t use all of your vacation time by the end of the year, you may lose it. CVS has a “use-it-or-lose-it” policy for vacation time, which means that any unused time will not carry over to the following year. However, there are some exceptions to this policy that may apply in certain situations.

Roll Over Vacation Time

In some states, CVS is required by law to allow employees to roll over their unused vacation time from one year to the next. If you live in one of these states, you may be able to carry over up to a certain amount of unused vacation time.

Payout Vacation Time

If you leave CVS and have unused vacation time remaining, you may be eligible for a payout. The amount of the payout will depend on your position and length of service with the company.

Conclusion

Understanding how CVS vacation time works is important for any employee. By knowing how much time off you’re eligible for and how to request it, you can better plan your vacations and ensure that you’re taking advantage of all the benefits available to you. Remember to submit your requests early and keep track of your remaining vacation days throughout the year.
