PTO/EIB TRANSITION Sample Clauses

PTO/EIB TRANSITION. Prior to the first pay period following January 1, 2020, employees with an FTE status of 0.5 or above are eligible to accrue PTO and EIB hours. After the first full pay period following January 1, 2020, employees with a FTE status of 0.5 or above are eligible to accrue PTO hours only. Between ratification of this Agreement and the first full pay period following January 1, 2020, new employees accrue but may not use PTO or EIB days during the first ninety (90) days of employment except unless a recognized legal holiday falls in this period. In this case new employees may use PTO time for the holiday. PTO or EIB is not earned or accrued when employees are on leave of absence or layoff (unless required by Federal or State Law). After the first full pay period following December 31, 2019, this section shall only apply to PTO, as no EIB accrual will occur after that date. All existing EIB accruals for then current bargaining unit employees shall be frozen as of the end of that pay period.
