Paid Time Off (PTO)

You can use your Paid Time Off hours for sick days, vacation time, holidays, bereavement (beyond bereavement policy, refer to the Employee Handbook for additional information), doctor appointments, and other personal time off from work.  You must obtain approval in advance from your supervisor before using your PTO hours.

Banner Health automatically provides this coverage for eligible employees. No enrollment is required. 

How PTO is Accumulated

PTO benefits are accrued in hours based on working a maximum of 80 hours per pay period. No PTO credit is earned for hours worked in excess of 80. For those who work less than 80 hours per pay period, the earned hours will be prorated based on actual hours worked. View the PTO Accrual Charts for further details. Employees hired prior to 1/1/09 have a separate schedule for PTO maximums. View the PTO carryover provision for further details.

You will be paid your remaining PTO balance at your base rate of pay upon termination of employment.
