Paid time off

Paid time off (PTO) combines vacation, sick and personal time under one bank of leave. You begin accruing PTO on the date you’re hired or become eligible, but there is a 90-day waiting period before you can use it.

• You can carry over the annual maximum amount of PTO year to year, but you won’t begin accruing more PTO until time is used.
• Upon termination, PTO is paid out at 50%.

Accrual rates and annual maximums

You accrue PTO each pay period, up to the annual maximum. The amount of PTO you accrue is based on your employee status and years of service.

Directors and above

If you’re an incentive-eligible employee with the position title “Director” or above, you’re frontloaded 39 days of PTO each year, regardless of tenure. The seven paid company holidays are included in these 39 days of PTO.

If you’re hired or transition into an incentive-eligible position during the year, you’ll receive a prorated amount of the 39 frontloaded days.

Unused PTO is not paid out upon termination and expires at the end of the year. On Jan. 1, your frontloaded PTO balance resets to 39 days.

Vacation

The amount of vacation you receive each year is based on your employee status and your years of service.

• The qualifying date to receive your annual vacation time is your employment anniversary date.
• Upon termination, PTO is paid out at 50%.

Full-time employees

New hires can use a certain amount of vacation time after completing these probationary periods:

• After six months: 40 hours (5 days)

Part-time employees

If you’re a part-time employee, you receive vacation time on a prorated basis, based on your regularly scheduled hours of work.

Sick time

Sick time is available for you or your children, spouse or parents when they’re ill.

If you’re regularly scheduled to work at least 40 hours per week, you begin accruing sick time after completing 90 days of employment. The amount of sick time you receive depends on your years of service:

• Less than 2 years: Five-sixths (.833) of a day for each month of employment. For example, an employee who has worked for 15 months would have accrued 12.5 days of sick time.
• 2+ years: 10 days per year

If you’re regularly scheduled to work 20-39 hours per week, you accrue prorated sick time based on the number of hours scheduled to work.

The maximum amount of sick time you can accrue each year is 520 hours (65 days).
