Paid Time Off

To promote a healthy work-life balance, CF Industries provides eligible employees with Paid Time Off (PTO).

Paid Holidays

You will receive up to 13 paid holidays each year: 11 company-observed holidays (88 hours) and two employee holidays (16 hours).

Important Note: 12-hour shift employees receive 88 hours’ STAT bank, accrued along each holiday observed rather than company-observed holidays.

Any accrued, unused vacation, STAT, CDO (Compensating Days Off), or TOIL (Time Off in Lieu) time will be paid out upon exit of the company. Unused employee holidays or sick time is not paid out.

Vacation

On January 1 of each year, you are granted paid vacation time based on your projected length of service at the end of the year. You can carry over up to 40 unused vacation hours from the current year.

Length of Service (as of the end of the year) Paid Vacation Time (granted January 1)
Less than 5 years 120 hours*
Five - 14 years 160 hours (168 for 12-hour shift workers)
15 - 24 years 200 hours (204 for 12-hour shift workers)
25+ years 240 hours

*If you are a new hire, your employee holiday hours are prorated based on your start date.

Temporary employees: Vacation will be granted in accordance with legislated employment standards.

Volunteer Time Off (VTO)

Our Volunteer Time Off (VTO) program provides you up to one full day of your normal work schedule per year to volunteer at a charitable organization that supports CF’s philanthropic goals related to Environmental Sustainability, Healthy Food Access, STEM Education and Awareness and Local Community Advancement.

Discuss your volunteer opportunity with your manager and provide supporting information via Workday to complete your VTO request and take advantage of this program.
