Time Away from Work
Time away from work helps you rest and rejuvenate, as well as spend time with your loved ones.
Paid Time Off (PTO)
Santander’s PTO program allows full- and part-time employees the flexibility to schedule time off as needed, whether it’s for a family vacation, an illness or other events. PTO can range from 18 to 30 days depending on your role, and is in addition to the holidays Santander observes. Santander also provides additional paid time off to support employees professionally and personally, including the programs listed below. You’ll find additional details about Santander’s PTO program on the OneHR Portal.

Volunteer PTO
Santander encourages employees to actively participate in their communities, including Santander sponsored or promoted volunteer activities. All regular employees are eligible to receive Volunteer PTO (VPTO) hours: 16 hours for full-time employees and eight hours for part-time employees.

Military Deployment Leave
Santander respects and supports those who serve in the military and we’re sensitive to the stress that service can put on family members.
