Introduction

Marathon Petroleum provides paid time off for vacation, holidays, personal sickness and brief absences for certain personal reasons. The Company also offers leaves of absence for military service, educational pursuits, family and medical responsibilities and personal reasons.

2024 Vacation

Marathon Petroleum provides paid vacation to all Regular full-time and Regular part-time employees. You are eligible for a vacation benefit on the first day of employment and the amount is determined based on the years of Vacation Service at the time of hire, as established by TA/HR, pro-rated based on the month of hire.

You become eligible for your full vacation entitlement under the Normal Vacation Benefit Schedule on January 1 of the year after your date of hire, and each calendar year thereafter, based on the amount of vacation service you will complete in that year.

Normal Vacation Benefit Schedule
Starting With the Calendar Year in Which You Complete the Following Amount of Vacation Service Based on Your Time Off Service Date: Vacation Benefit:
1-9 years of vacation service 3 weeks*
10-19 years of vacation service 4 weeks*
20-29 years of vacation service 5 weeks*
30 or more years of vacation service 6 weeks*

*The total vacation hours available is based on your “normal” scheduled hours for an average work week. Note – if your schedule or status changes throughout the year, your vacation benefit is not adjusted; vacation is based on your status as of January 1 of each calendar year.

You can carry over all unused vacation into the following year; however, your vacation benefit at any time cannot exceed two times your Normal Vacation Benefit.

Vacation During Your Year of Hire

The vacation available to you during the calendar year you are hired depends on the month in which you are hired. Below is the vacation schedule for new hires who are not eligible for enhanced vacation and receive the standard vacation benefit.

Holiday Schedule and Guidelines

To provide more flexibility and recognize the changing needs of our diverse workforce, the 2024 corporate Holiday Schedule includes 8 observed holidays and 2 floating holidays, for a total of 10 total paid holidays.

Floating Holiday Guidelines


  • Scheduling and approval of the floating holidays is at the discretion of your supervisor and, in some locations, could be replaced by a fixed or “designated” holiday.
  • You must exhaust all floating holiday hours before using your vacation benefit in a calendar year. This applies to all floating holiday hours, even in locations where floating holiday hours are in lieu of regular holiday hours.
  • Any unused floating holidays will be paid out at the end of the calendar year or upon separation of employment as required by state law. Currently, this applies to employees working in Colorado, California and Illinois.
  • All unused floating holidays will be paid out upon commencement of a Personal Leave, Educational Leave, or leave while receiving a Long-Term Disability benefit in all locations.

Sick Benefits

Paid Sick Leave

Marathon’s Paid Sick Leave Program provides eligible employees with a period of paid time off for protection against loss of income if they are ill or injured or need time off from work for necessary or routine health care, or in the event of domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking. Paid Sick Leave also may be used to meet those same needs for qualifying family members. Additionally, eligible employees may use Paid Sick Leave when the employee’s place of business or employee’s child’s school or place of care is closed by order of a public official for health-related reason.

For more information regarding paid sick leave, see Sick Benefits.

Short-Term Disability

The Marathon Petroleum Short Term Disability Program provides protection against loss of income if you are temporarily unable to work because of your own non-occupational disability, including both illness and injury or the illness or injury of your dependent child under the age of 18.

For more information regarding Short-Term Disability, see Sick Benefits.

Occupational Short-Term Disability Plan

The Marathon Petroleum Occupational Short Term Disability Program provides protection against loss of income if you are temporarily unable to work because of your own occupational disability, including both illness and injury.

For more information regarding Occupational Short-Term Disability, see Sick Benefits.

Parental Leave

MPC will provide 10 weeks of paid parental leave. For birthing parents who deliver via cesarean section, MPC will provide 12 weeks of paid parental leave. A non-birthing parent will receive 4 weeks of parental pay, to include adoption and foster placement. Sick benefits will not be used for birthing mothers unless the mother experiences medical complications before delivery, or after the use of parental pay.

Paid parental leave will run concurrently with FMLA/Family Leave. See “Leaves of Absence” for more information on FMLA and Family Leave.

Leaves of Absence
Educational

Marathon Petroleum offers unpaid Educational Leave so you can pursue an undergraduate or graduate degree that will benefit the performance of your current position, related positions or a position within the Company that you could reasonably expect to attain upon completion of the education. It is within the Company’s sole discretion to determine eligibility for an Educational Leave. The leave must be at least 30 days long but may not extend beyond 24 months.

Family and Medical

The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) requires employers to provide up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave in a 12-month period to eligible employees for the following reasons:

  • Incapacity due to pregnancy, prenatal medical care or childbirth;
  • To care for your child after birth or placement for adoption or foster care;
  • To care for your spouse, son, daughter or parent who has a serious health condition;
  • A serious health condition that makes you unable to perform your job; or
  • To address a “qualifying exigency” related to your spouse’s, son’s, daughter’s or parent’s active duty or call to active duty or an absence to care for a covered family member who has suffered a serious injury or illness while on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces.

By law, to be eligible for FMLA Leave, you must have worked for the Company for at least 12 months, have worked at least 1,250 hours during the 12 months prior to the start of the FMLA Leave and work at a site with 50+ employees within a 75-mile radius. Marathon Petroleum has waived the service requirement for Family Leave related to an employee’s birth of his/her own child.

Family Leave

Family Leave applies to time off due to pregnancy and childbirth, adoption or foster care placement or the serious health condition of a family member. You can also take a Family Leave to address certain “qualifying exigencies” arising from the active duty, or call to active duty, of a covered family member or an absence to care for a covered family member who has suffered a serious injury or illness while on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces.

Medical Leave

You may be eligible for a Medical Leave as a result of your own serious health condition. If you have a short-term or intermittent absence of more than three consecutive days due to illness or injury, you’ll be placed on Medical Leave status. Marathon Petroleum’s medical leave and FMLA policy coordinates with and runs concurrent with sick pay benefits.

Military

Marathon Petroleum offers Military Leave to allow eligible employees time to fulfill service in the uniformed services as required by law or administrative regulation. For up to 24 months of Military Leave, you’ll receive Company pay, less military base pay, for all regularly scheduled work days. Eligibility for re-employment is extended for leaves not exceeding five years, and the period of leave is credited as service provided you return to work for the Company within the stipulated time period following your discharge from military service.

Personal

A Personal Leave allows you time away from work to pursue personal commitments that do not otherwise qualify for Family Leave. A Personal Leave must be at least one month in duration and must be approved or re-approved every six months. Under no circumstances can a Personal Leave last more than 24 months. All approvals of Personal Leave are at the discretion of the Company.

What Happens to Your Benefits During a Leave of Absence

The status of your MPC benefits while on a leave of absence depends on the type and duration of your leave. The chart in the link below outlines what happens to each benefit during your leave – including eligibility, coverage amounts and who pays for coverage, as applicable.

Permissible Absences

The supervisor will consider each request individually taking into account the effect on Company operations, your past record, frequency and fairness of the request and the effect on other employees. Please see Permissible Absences Policy below.
