As we step into the new year, there are updates to our PTO procedures—though our PTO policy remains unchanged. Here’s what you need to know:
Key Changes:
- Position Eligibility Updates
- PTO has increased for select positions.
- Standardized Maximum Accrual
- PTO accrual is now capped at 240 hours for all employees.
- All PTO hours roll over year to year, but once your balance reaches 240 hours, accrual stops until you use some time to help maintain work-life balance and simplify tracking.
- New Payout Rule
- A maximum of 80 hours of PTO will be paid out upon termination or transfer to PRN.
- Any hours above 80 accrued as of 1/1/25 will still be honored.
- Example 1: Joe has 120 hours on 1/1. By 4/4, he accrues 53 hours and uses 20. Joe is eligible for a 100-hour payout.
- Example 2: Joan has 120 hours on 1/1. By 4/4, she accrues 53 hours and uses 80. Joan is eligible for an 80-hour payout.
- Notice Period Restrictions
- Additional PTO cannot be taken during the notice period beyond what has already been approved. This ensures adequate time for training and handoffs.
