D. PERSONAL TIME-OFF (PTO)<br />
Time away from work to relax and pursue special interests is important to everyone. Personal time off is<br />
viewed as an earned and needed break from work; therefore, you are encouraged to take accrued PTO<br />
on a regular basis. PTO must be taken in minimum one (1) hour increments. PTO is time off for vacation,<br />
sick leave, and personal time combined in to one plan.<br />
Each full time <strong>employee</strong> will accrue PTO semi-monthly in hourly increments based on their length of<br />
service as defined below. PTO is added to the <strong>employee</strong>'s PTO bank when the semi-monthly paycheck is<br />
issued. PTO taken will be subtracted from the <strong>employee</strong>'s accrued time bank in one hour increments.<br />
Temporary <strong>employee</strong>s, contract <strong>employee</strong>s, and interns are <strong>no</strong>t eligible to accrue PTO.<br />
PTO is <strong>no</strong>t earned in pay periods during which unpaid leave, short term disability, personal<br />
leave, worker’s compensation, or Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) are taken.<br />
Employees may use time from their PTO bank in hourly increments. Time that is <strong>no</strong>t covered by the PTO<br />
policy, and for which separate guidelines and policies exist, include company paid holidays, bereavement<br />
time off, required jury duty, and military service leave.<br />
To take PTO requires two days of <strong>no</strong>tice to the supervisor and Human Resources unless the PTO is used<br />
for legitimate, unexpected illness or emergencies. (Use the Request for Time off form in mySavant to<br />
request PTO.) In all instances, PTO must be approved by the <strong>employee</strong>'s supervisor in advance. The<br />
Company appreciates as much <strong>no</strong>tice as possible when you k<strong>no</strong>w you expect to miss work for a<br />
scheduled absence.<br />
