The PTO year for each new employee will begin on the date of <br />employment with the City, or if there is a change of status, on the date the employee is eligible <br />for PTO. <br />Employees may not use personal time off until it has been credited to the employee's bank in the <br />payroll system. Personal leave may be used in increments of 1 hour or more. The maximum <br />amount of personal leave that can be carried into the next year is 600 hours. <br />C. Use of Personal Time Off <br />This PTO policy encourages advance planning of absences from work. To ensure necessary <br />departmental coverage, non - emergency (planned) use of PTO should be requested in advance. <br />Employees should give their supervisor advance notice equal to the amount of requested time off. <br />Unplanned use of PTO may require documentation and requires notice within a timely manner of <br />your scheduled work day. Established departmental rules and requirements concerning employee <br />absences from work will be applied. <br />In order to allow coordination of PTO with Family Medical Leave, employees seeking to use <br />PTO may be required to provide pertinent information as to the purpose of the time off to allow a <br />determination of whether the time will also qualify for Family and Medical Leave. If the PTO <br />qualifies for Family and Medical Leave, the employee must take both leaves simultaneously. <br />Probationary employees may use no more than 24 hours of PTO during the first six months of <br />their probationary period without the approval of the City Administrator. This provision does not <br />apply to employees serving a probationary period following a promotion, transfer, or demotion. <br />D. General Provisions <br />1. Maximum Accrual. An employee may not carry over more than 600 hours of PTO from <br />one year to the next unless a written request has been submitted to and approved by the <br />City Administrator prior to December 15. Such waiver may be considered in the event of <br />a special circumstance. <br />2. Denial of PTO Leave. A department director may deny a request for planned PTO leave <br />when granting such leave would result in insufficient personnel to carry out necessary <br />functions of the City. <br />3. Impact on Other Benefits. Employees using PTO will be considered working for the <br />purpose of accumulating additional personal leave. The City will continue to make its <br />contribution toward an employee's group insurance benefits. PTO will not continue to <br />accrue during a suspension or while an employee is on an unpaid leave of absence. <br />26 <br />
