Paid Time Off (PTO)
We understand that part of being successful on the job is having time away to relax, refresh, and refocus. Paid Time Off begins after 90 days of service.
Number of PTO Weeks:
When You're Eligible: 1 After 90 days of employment during first calendar year* if start date is prior to Sept. 30 1 During year in which 1st anniversary occurs 2 2nd through 7th 3 8th through 19th 4 20th through 29th 5 30th through 39th 6 40th through 49th 8 50th anniversary and thereafter * NOTE: Your first “calendar year” includes any portion of the first calendar year in which you begin your employment, and will not necessarily be a full 12-month period. For example, if you are hired in April, your first calendar year would be April through December. Note as well, if you begin your employment after September in any given year, you will not be able to complete 90 days of employment before the year end, and thus will not be able to schedule any PTO until the following calendar year.
