Paid Time Off (PTO)

Eligible associates accrue PTO during the year and receive paid sick time.

PTO must be used between January 1 of the current year and January 31 of the following year. Unused PTO isn’t paid out at the end of the year or upon termination in most states. View PTO at Termination to see information for your state.

In addition to PTO and paid sick time, Caleres also provides associates with paid holidays during the year. Visit Holidays to see which days Caleres locations are closed.
