Additional Details
Comprehensive information about this benefit is contained within the Paid Time Off Benefit Plan Summary (PDF). In addition, below is some important information about this benefit:
PTO Carryover
With the exception of employees in California and Montana, where carryover rules are subject to state regulations, full-time employees may carryover up to one week (five days) of regular PTO per year. Part-time employees may carryover up to one week of regular PTO time based on their part-time schedule. In California and Montana, caps have been instituted because of regulations that govern vacation and PTO time in these states.
Please note that purchased PTO cannot be carried over to the following year. Purchased PTO is used last (after employees have exhausted their carryover and regular time for the year). Purchased PTO must be used during the calendar year or be cashed out during annual benefits enrollment. Any remaining purchased PTO time that is not cashed out or not used by the end of the calendar year will be forfeited. Access the Paid Time Off Purchase Plan section for more information.
Each January, employees are able to enter their carryover hours into the HR Time Reporting System from the previous year.
