Use of Accrued PTO Hours Sample Clauses

Use of Accrued PTO Hours. Employees may begin to schedule and use accrued PTO hours from their date of employment in a regular full-time or regular part-time position. As the employee uses these hours, they are subtracted from the employee’s PTO bank. An employee’s supervisor’s approval is required in advance except for unanticipated illness or emergency. The employee will receive payment for approved time off as long as the employee has enough PTO time in his or her PTO bank; and, as long as the employee has not requested PTO hours which would result in a pay out of hours in excess of the total hours that the employee is regularly scheduled to work in a pay period. (That is, a regular full-time employee can request PTO hours to receive up to a maximum of 80 hours in a pay period once combined with other hours worked or paid. Similarly, a regular part-time employee who normally works 48 hours in a pay period can request PTO to receive up to a total of 48 hours in a pay period once combined with other hours worked or paid). Payment is made at the current base rate of pay. PTO must be used on a medical leave for the employee’s own illness or disability upon exhaustion of accrued ESL, and must be used for family medical or care leave required or permitted under Federal and/or State law. All accrued PTO must be exhausted before an employee will be eligible for a personal leave.
