Paid Time Off (PTO) Exceptions
• Employees who miss more than three consecutive unscheduled days, may be required to
present a doctor's release to the Human Resources department that permits them to return to
work.
• Under the company Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), policy, all accrued PTO time is taken
before the start of the unpaid FMLA time.
• An employee who has used all of his or her FMLA and Short term disability, and is still unable to
return to work, will have his or her employment terminated.
• Any employee who misses three consecutive days of work without notice to their supervisor may
be considered to have voluntarily quit their job.
Specific Eligibility for Paid Time Off (PTO)
• PTO will be accrued from the first day of employment. But, the employee will not be eligible to
use the accrued PTO time until the employee’s 90 day probationary period has been completed.
Years of Service
• 1-2: 80 working hours per year, earned at a rate of 3.33 hours for each pay period.
• 3-4: 100 working hours per year, earned at a rate of 4.17 hours for each pay period.
• 5: 120 working hours per year, earned at a rate of 5.00 hours for each pay period.
• Employees may not accrue more than 160 hours during the course of employment.
• Employees are responsible for monitoring and taking their PTO over the course of a year so the
employee will not lose time accrued when the calendar year ends. (PTO is subject to supervisory
approval and not every employee can take accumulated time in December; the company must
continue to serve customers.)
• Upon termination of employment, employees will be paid for up to 80 hours of accrued PTO. If an
employee has used PTO time not yet accrued, and employment terminates, the PTO taken is
deducted from the final paycheck. Employees who give two weeks’ notice of employment
termination must work the two weeks without utilizing PTO.
