Scheduling of PTO. During the probationary period, an employee is not eligible to receive compensation from their PTO account. Upon satisfactory completion of the probationary period, an employee shall be eligible to take any PTO which has accrued. Everyone is encouraged to save several days each year for emergencies. Employees cannot request PTO not yet accrued. All PTO (except absences due to illness or emergency) must be scheduled in advance and approved by Employer supervision. A Leave Request Form should be completed and approved according to your departmental cut-off dates for schedule planning. The Employer shall have the right to schedule and approve or disapprove PTO for the benefit of patient care, operations and workload requirements of the Employer. Patient care needs will take precedence over the individual's request unless a Registered Nurse receives advanced written approval of a request made at least 60 days prior to a specific requested vacation date. With approval of the Director of Nursing Services, PTO may be taken in increments of less than the employee's regular workday. PTO may not be used in advance of being earned and may be cashed out in accordance with Employer policy. Employees must use their PTO (if accrued) before a request for a day off without pay will be considered by the Employer, and the Employer retains the sole discretion to approve or disapprove of any such request.
