Great time off policy but not encouraged to use it - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Osborn Engineering

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. We want to clarify that Osborn offers a generous sick leave policy in addition to company-paid Short-Term Disability benefits for employees experiencing serious medical conditions or extended time away from work. Our goal is to ensure employees can focus on their health and recovery without the added stress of financial hardship. As with any company leave program, sick time usage is monitored for consistency, fairness, and operational planning, particularly because it is provided in addition to vacation time and other flexible scheduling options. However, we do not discourage employees from appropriately using earned sick time for legitimate medical needs, surgeries, parental leave, or other qualifying health-related events. In fact, many of our employees successfully utilize flexible work arrangements including hybrid schedules, flexed hours, and our 9/80 schedule to help balance personal and professional responsibilities. We also want to be clear that our policies and practices are fully compliant with applicable employment laws, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Employees who believe they may need additional support or accommodations due to a medical condition or disability are encouraged to contact Human Resources to engage in the interactive process and discuss reasonable accommodation options. HR is always available as a resource to support employees and help navigate these conversations confidentially and appropriately. While individual experiences and workloads may vary depending on project demands and team responsibilities, we continuously evaluate employee feedback and operational needs to support flexibility, work-life balance, and a positive workplace culture. If you have additional questions or concerns, please feel free to contact HR.
