Common use of Use of PTO Clause in Contracts

Use of PTO. 10.5.1 PTO may be used as soon as it is earned, up to the amount accrued in the pay period immediately preceding the time off, in accordance with the provisions of this Article. PTO may not be used in advance of its accrual, on regularly scheduled days off, or to claim pay for time lost due to tardiness. 10.5.2 Except where otherwise required by law or by a specific provision of this Agreement, PTO must be used for all time off taken by a nurse. If the nurse has no accrued PTO, unpaid time off shall be allowed for illness and emergencies, and may be granted under other extenuating circumstances on a case-by-case basis subject to approval by the nurse’s supervisor. When requests for scheduled time off conflict with staffing requirements, preference will be given to PTO requests over requests for time off without pay. 10.5.3 Absent unusual circumstances, full-time nurses are encouraged to use at least eighty (80) hours of PTO per year (prorated for part-time employees) for rest and relaxation. 10.5.4 In anticipation of prime time periods, as defined in nursing unit guidelines, the Medical Center shall attempt to supply sufficient staff, including temporaries and per diem personnel.
