Paid Time Off

Paid Time Off

Your time away from work is supported by a variety of paid time off programs outlined in the Time Off and Leave Guide, including:

  • Annual Time*
  • Sick Time
  • Paid Parental Leave
  • Bereavement
  • Jury and Witness Duty
  • Holidays - please review the university holiday schedule for further details.
  • Voting - DC workers can also review additional voting information (PDF) specific to that work location.

The Time Off and Leave Guide (PDF) provides details on paid time off and leave of absence programs, including eligibility, accrual rates, manager tips and more.

All eligible employees* use the Time Reporting System (TRS) to request and manage time off. To help you navigate the system and accurately manage your time in the system, we recommend that you reference the Employee and Manager Resources section below. 

*GW Police Department employees covered by a Collective Bargaining Agreement, Medical Residents and Postdocs, please use your departmental time off tracking system.

Note: Staff members who have timekeeping or time off processing access in the TRS are able to see their own time off requests but should not approve them. Their manager or their manager’s delegate should approve those requests.

If you have questions regarding time off, contact [email protected].
