Requesting and Granting PTO Sample Clauses
The 'Requesting and Granting PTO' clause outlines the procedures employees must follow to request paid time off and the criteria employers use to approve or deny such requests. Typically, this clause specifies how much advance notice is required, the method for submitting requests (such as through an HR portal or written form), and any limitations on when PTO can be taken, such as during peak business periods. Its core function is to ensure a fair and organized process for managing employee absences, balancing the needs of the business with employees' rights to take time off.
Requesting and Granting PTO. PTO must, except in unusual circumstances, be requested in advance of the time off desired. Consistent with the Medical Center’s and the nurse’s responsibilities to provide adequate patient care, the Medical Center will not unreasonably deny said request.
Requesting and Granting PTO. All requests for PTO may be submitted up to one
(1) year in advance and not less than fifteen (15) days before the work schedule is posted (i.e., by the 5th of the preceding month). Such requests will be granted based on the date the request was submitted, provided the skills and abilities of the nurses affected are not significant factors as determined by the Employer. Nurses will be notified in writing as to whether the PTO is approved within twenty (20) days or the date the work schedule is posted, whichever occurs first, after the request is submitted. The Medical Center will not unreasonably deny said request. If the PTO request is denied, the nurse will be provided with the reason for denial in writing.

When requests are submitted within two weeks of each other, and the first request has not been yet approved, nurses shall, whenever possible, be given the opportunity to accommodate each other’s conflicting requests. If the conflicting requests are not resolved, then such requests shall be governed by seniority, except where the more senior nurse has exercised such right of seniority during the preceding two (2) years. PTO requests submitted on a Saturday or Sunday or a recognized holiday shall be considered noticed to the Medical Center on the Monday immediately following the weekend or the day following the holiday.
10.4.2 When time off is requested without prior approval and on short notice, the employee must contact his/her manager, or designee, as soon as the employee becomes aware of the need, and, if possible, at least two (2) hours prior to the nurse’s starting work time. A nurse’s failure to comply with this provision may be treated as an improper notification that is subject to discipline. If a nurse is sent home while on duty due to an on-the-job injury, regular wages will be paid for the entire day of injury without requiring PTO utilization. There will be no formal reprimand in the permanent employee file for the sole reason of having three sick occurrences in a rolling six (6) month period.
10.4.3 The Medical Center has the right to rescind PTO previously granted if (1) there was sufficient accrued PTO in the nurse’s PTO bank to cover the time off at the time it was requested, and (2) following the approval the nurse utilized PTO for low census that resulted in insufficient accrued PTO at the time of the desired time off.
