PTO Use. PTO may be taken after 90 days of employment. The use of PTO will be voluntary if an employee is on FMLA/OFLA approved leave and has less than two times (2x) their weekly FTE accrued. PTO shall also be voluntary when an employee is sent home on a mandatory absence (MA).
PTO Use. Accrued PTO may be used in the pay period following completion of six (6) months of employment and then in or after the pay period following the pay period when accrued, except with respect to use on observed holidays as provided in below. PTO will be used for any absence of a quarter hour or more, except that the nurse may choose to use or not to use PTO for time off:
PTO Use. 1. Employees may begin to request, schedule, and use accrued PTO hours immediately upon accrual. There is no waiting period. Employees may receive payment for approved time off as long as they have a sufficient amount of PTO time in their bank.
PTO Use. An employee may utilize accrued PTO on a daily basis provided the employee notifies the Employer at least two (2) hours prior to the start of the employee’s shift. Requests for PTO use in excess of one (1) day must be submitted at least three (3) days in advance of the intended usage date. Requests for PTO use in excess of one (1) day received with less than three (3) days notice shall be approved to the extent local staffing requirements permit on a first come, first served basis. Multiple requests for the same day(s) off shall be approved in seniority order.

Additional employees above the minimum may be approved for prescheduled PTO and vacation on the same day, at the Employer’s discretion, provided adequate personnel are available to accommodate the necessary workload and the employee has sufficient accrued PTO to cover the requested time off. An employee who is denied PTO may still take the time off provided the employee obtains his/her own appropriate shift coverage in accordance with Section 10.14 and notifies the Scheduling Department at least two (2) hours prior to the shift that he/she wishes to be paid PTO for the shift. Requests for PTO usage that are related to emergencies and other legitimate unexpected and unplanned events shall not be unreasonably denied by the Employer. Once an employee’s request has been approved, it cannot be canceled for reasons other than a Government declared emergency. For call-outs on a shift immediately preceding or following scheduled PTO or a holiday, the Employer shall have the right to require verification, immediately at the start of the employee’s next shift, to establish the unforeseen nature of the circumstances necessitating the absence. Failure to provide verification to the Employer’s reasonable satisfaction may result in discipline.
