Cinnaminson DC Handbook

Q. How is this attendance policy work?

A. You will have a bank of Paid Time Off that you will be responsible for managing to meet your needs. As long as you meet the notice and/or call-in procedures and do not exceed your allotment for either scheduled or unscheduled PTO, you will have paid time away from work with no penalty.

The key to this PTO policy is that YOU must responsibly manage your time away from work.

Q.

me when I am out sick?

A. No, a your being out sick. There is no need to excuse an absence if you are properly managing your unscheduled PTO. You are allowed 40 hours of your annual accrual to use on an unscheduled or emergency basis (see the discussion regarding FLEX-Days in the next section).

Q. If I have PTO, why do I have an attendance policy?

A. You are subject to the attendance policy under the following circumstances: 1. -in requirements; 2) exceeding the number of hours you can be away from work on an unscheduled basis; and/or 3) exceeding your accrued PTO. Good attendance is a requirement of continued employment and employees are expected to manage their attendance record accordingly. Your available PTO is shown on your pay stub each week. FLEX-DAYS The Company instituted FLEX-Days as a way of recognizing that you have lives outside of work. We need you to work when you are scheduled to work; however, we realize that things sometimes happen beyond your control. We want to ensure that as long as you meet certain guidelines, you will not be penalized for those absences. Each employee will be allowed to use up to 40 hours of their annual PTO accrual as unscheduled PTO (FLEX-Days). You may elect to use your PTO in 4, 6, 8, 10, or 12 hour increments, depending on your normal work schedule. You may use partial FLEX-Days a maximum of two times each year. The remainder of your 40 hours of FLEX time must be used as full FLEX-Days. RULES AROUND THE USE OF FLEX-DAYS When missing a full day, you may elect to use a minimum of 8 hours of FLEX time. If you normally work 10 or 12 hour shifts, you may elect to use up to the maximum number of hours that you are regularly scheduled to work. For example, if you regularly work a 10 hour schedule, you may elect to use either 8 or 10 hours of FLEX time. If your use of FLEX-Days exceeds the number of hours available in your FLEX bank, you will receive points under the attendance policy. You must still follow call-in procedures. Failure to follow call-in procedures will result in the use of PTO time AND the assignment of points.
