PAID TIME OFF (PTO) <br />Purpose <br />The City recognizes the importance of employees balancing their professional lives with <br />personal responsibilities. It is the objective of the City to provide equity, consistency, and <br />flexibility through a Paid Time Off (PTO) benefit to all eligible City staff. <br />The PTO Plan replaces vacation and sick leave plans with a combined single benefit program. <br />Employees accrue benefits based on length of service with the City. This means employees <br />receive the same amount of paid time off regardless of personal or family situations. Through <br />PTO the City seeks to attract and retain its employees by providing equity, consistency, <br />flexibility, personal responsibility, and recognition of years of service. <br />PTO can be used for any purpose and is subject only to routine requests and approval <br />procedures. <br />Eligibility <br />PTO accrual for each eligible employee shall begin on the date of policy inception, employment <br />with the City, or if a change of status creates eligibility on the date the employee becomes <br />eligible. <br />All regular, full -time employees will earn full PTO benefits. <br />Regular part -tine employees are eligible for P'T'O provided they work 20 or more hours per <br />week. These employees shall accrue PTO pro -rated according to the accrual percentage of full - <br />time equivalency status. For example, an employee with a half -time schedule (20 hours per <br />week) would earn PTO at a rate of 50% of full -time employees. <br />Regular part -time employees regularly scheduled to work fewer than 20 hours per week shall not <br />accrue nor be given PTO benefits. <br />Temporary, contract, seasonal, and intern employees shall not accrue nor be eligible for PTO <br />benefits. <br />PTO Leave Accrual Schedule <br />PTO is accrued bi- weekly, and is documented on your paystub.
