PAID ABSENCE MANAGEMENT

We recognize the need for employees to take time off from work for varying needs. Southwest’s holiday, vacation and paid sick days combine into Paid Absence Management (PAM).

PAM provides full-time and half-time employees with paid time off and the opportunity to manage their time off. Complete PAM details can be found in Policy #812.

See the 2024 PAM Usage for details on holiday closures and additional PAM usage. 

If you need to take an FMLA leave, contact Lincoln at 800-290-0395 or complete a leave request online at mylincolnportal.com.

First time users must register using Company Code SWGENERAL.For a non-FMLA leave, see Policy #821 on Personal Leave of Absence.
