Sick Leave Policy
Westfield Group recognizes that from time to time, employees may need to miss work due to illness of either themselves or their immediate family members. Therefore, the Company offers full-time employees a defined number of paid sick days per calendar year. If non-exempt employees do not use all of their sick days in a given calendar year, they may receive reimbursement for unused sick days.
