Full-time employees are entitled to accrue up to 120 hours of PTO in a 12-month period of continuous employment. Full-time employees will accrue 5 hours of PTO per semi-monthly pay period. Part-time employees will accrue PTO on a pro-rated basis. If a full-time employee’s schedule changes and he/she consistently works less than 40 hours per week over two pay periods, the Employer will prorate the employee’s PTO accrual rate. For example, if an employee who works 75 percent time (30 hours per week) has an accumulation maximum of 90 hours (75% of 120 = 90). Any employee who wishes to use PTO must complete the appropriate form and submit it for approval to their direct supervisor prior to scheduling any time off. The Employer shall not unreasonably withhold approval of PTO to the extent that a bargaining unit employee provides their supervisor with at least one (1) calendar weeks’ notice of intent to schedule time off in accordance with the above. Employees employed for five (5) consecutive years from the date this agreement is implemented shall accrue PTO at a rate of seven hours per semi-monthly period. Employees employed for ten (10) consecutive years from the date this agreement is implemented shall accrue PTO at rate of nine hours per a semi- monthly period. All employees are required to use accrued PTO to cover approved absences, unless otherwise required by law. PTO will be deducted from a bargaining unit member employee's accrued PTO balance in one hour increments to cover the absence. An employee whose employment terminates will be paid for accrued and unused PTO as wages at their final rate of pay.
