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 12 paid holidays each year: nine company-observed holidays (72 hours) and three employee holidays (24 hours). If you are a new hire, your employee holiday hours are prorated based on your start date.

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 must use at least 40 hours of granted vacation time each calendar year, or you will forfeit the unused portion. If you are a new hire and were granted under 40 hours, you can carry over those hours to the next calendar year. Carryover days from the previous year must be used or they will be forfeited.

Important Note: Temporary employees are not eligible for paid vacation benefits. Employees on a leave of absence on January 1 will be granted their paid vacation time if they return to work in the calendar year.

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.
