Time Off

Vacation

You are eligible for two weeks of vacation per calendar year during your first two calendar years of employment. During your first year of employment, this is pro-rated depending on your start date.

Holidays

Monsanto provides 13-14 paid holidays each year. The following are observed at most locations: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. The remaining holidays vary per work location and can vary from year to year.

In St. Louis and certain other locations, remaining holidays are often scheduled so that a holiday shut down is possible in late December.
