The purpose of PTO is to provide team members with flexible paid time off from work that can be used for needs such as vacations, personal or family illness, holidays, doctor appointments, school, volunteerism and other activities of the team member's choice.
New hires will be provided a lump sum of PTO equal to your weekly scheduled hours. For example, if you are part-time scheduled to work 24 hours per week, you will be provided with 24 hours of PTO. If you are full-time scheduled to work 40 hours per week, you will be provided with 40 hours of PTO. In addition to the lump sum PTO you will receive, beginning the first day of the month following your date of hire, you will accrue PTO each pay period according to the schedule below.
