When will I get paid?

Employees are paid on a bimonthly basis with payroll being processed through the 15th and the last day of the month, after all employee hours are logged in and submitted.

It is the employee’s responsibility to inform both your On-site team lead as well as the Orion Consortium management office when you are going to be either late or out for the day.

How do I request PTO?

Vacation hours will be communicated, scheduled, and approved, using the rules of your team lead/manager on-site, and at least 4 weeks before your vacation to Orion Consortium.
