The minimum increment of PTO that an Employee can use depends on whether they are an exempt or a non- exempt Employee. Non-exempt employees may take not less than one hour off at a time and exempt Employees must take PTO in increments of not less than one-half day. Up to 40 hours of unused PTO in a given calendar year may be carried over to the next year but must be used during that calendar year. Any PTO hours in excess of 40 remaining at the end of a calendar year will be lost. Employees are not entitled to pay in lieu of taking PTO. Unused “accrued” PTO hours, less any hours carried over from the previous year, will be paid to terminating employees with their final pay. TIME-OFF REQUESTS All PTO is subject to supervisory approval to avoid disrupting the efficient performance of the business. Employees are required to provide their supervisors with reasonable advance notice and obtain approval prior to using PTO. There may be occasions, such as sudden illness, when an employee cannot notify their supervisor in advance. In these situations, employees must inform their supervisors of their circumstances as soon as possible. When requesting PTO, employees must complete the Time Off Request in Paylocity and have their supervisor approve it before missing time from work.

One (1) day of paid bereavement leave will be granted in the case of the death of an extended family member, such as a grandparent, your spouse’s grandparent or sibling, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, cousin, or any member of your extended family living in your home. JURY DUTY All regular full-time employees will be allowed paid leave for time they are required to serve as a juror, as designated by the court, typically five (5) days.
