Notes:
- Maximum accrual for full-time and part-time employees is based on the 80 hours per pay period maximum. Even if you are scheduled to work less, your maximum accrual is based on 80 hours per pay period maximum.
- You can carry over the maximum accrual amount year to year, but you won’t begin accruing more PTO until time is used.
- Upon termination, your PTO balance will be paid out at 50%.
Accrual Schedule for Directors & Above
All incentive-eligible employees who hold the position title “Director” or a title above are frontloaded 39 days of PTO each year, regardless of tenure. The seven paid company holidays are included in these 39 days of PTO.
Unused PTO is not paid out upon termination and expires at the end of the year. On January 1, your frontloaded PTO balance resets to 39 days.
