Sick PTO Sample Clauses

Sick PTO. Sick PTO is defined when time off requested with or without 21 prior approval due to an emergency or illness, or other reason consistent with Oregon 22 Sick Leave (OL 537, 2015). A general reason explaining the type of sick PTO for the 23 request is to be given. If within the nurse’s control, the nurse must make reasonable 24 efforts to schedule sick time off to minimally disrupt operations. In all cases accrued 25 PTO must be used. Such mandatory utilization of PTO shall be limited to a maximum of 26 sixty-four (64) hours per calendar year. Except in unusual circumstances where the 27 nurse is unable to do so for medical or other legitimate reasons, the employee requiring 28 time off without prior approval must call as soon as practicable, with at least two (2) 29 hours notification before the start of the assigned shift. If the employee does not have 30 approval for each day of absence, it will be paid, however, such absences can become 31 cause for disciplinary action if the nurse’s absence was unexcused and the nurse was 32 not sick or absent for Oregon Sick Leave reasons. The Hospital may request a 33 healthcare provider verification or certification of sick time request defined in OL 537, 34 2015 if time requested off is more than three (3) consecutive scheduled work days. The 1 Hospital shall pay any reasonable out-of-pocket costs for providing medical verification 2 or certification required that are not paid under the nurse’s health benefit plan. If the 3 Hospital suspects a nurse is abusing sick time, including engaging in a pattern of abuse, 4 the Hospital may require verification from a healthcare provider, including seen by the 5 Hospital's Employee Health Coordinator. The Hospital may not require the nurse to 6 search for or find a replacement worker as a condition of the nurse’s use of accrued 7 PTO for sick time. The Hospital will not apply an absence control/attendance policy 8 toward any absences due to utilization of the first accrued forty (40) hours of sick PTO 9 per calendar year or that are otherwise protected by federal or state law. The Hospital 10 may impose discipline for a nurse’s failure to notify it of an unscheduled absence if the 11 nurse fails to timely notify the Hospital of the absence.
