Cinnaminson DC Handbook

asking for the day off and then give it to your supervisor for approval. If approved, PTO will cover the hours of your shift that you miss.

No points will be assigned.

Example 2: You have a week of PTO scheduled and approved for a family cruise in 2 months. You have 60 hours of PTO left. One month before you leave, you get the flu and are out for 5 days, reducing your available PTO to 20 hours. You will not be able to accrue enough time over the next 30 days to gain the 20 hours needed to be paid for your scheduled week off.

It is important that you manage your time. You may have to weigh the importance of what you want to do today with what you have scheduled later on in the year.

Example 3: Your favorite sporting event is coming to town on a regularly scheduled work night for you. You put in your request for PTO in as soon as you know about it and your request is approved. Enjoy your paid night out! Short-Term Disability (STD) WAITING PERIOD There is a 5-working day waiting period before disability benefits are paid. Employees that are on approved medical leave will be required to use PTO for the 5-working day disability benefits waiting period. This waiting period will NOT count toward FLEX-Days, even if your absence was unexpected. Best practice is to be aware of your PTO availability and budget your accrual (save some) in case you get sick. If you are a newer employee, you could also save your personal holidays until later in the year to assist you financially if you become unexpectedly ill. If you are sick and your absence is not FMLA qualifying (for example a stomach bug, dental issues, or the flu in most cases), you will accrue points if you have no PTO available. Absences are NOT excused/unexcused; however, if you have no PTO available the entire period of your absence. Only then, will we count the entire period as one absence and assign you two points. If you are out longer than 5 days, you will need to contact The ReedGroup to establish a short-term disability claim and certify your absence as FMLA qualifying. If you have questions on whether or not FMLA may apply, please see Human Resources for additional information. You are accruing a bank of paid time away from work to manage as you see fit, within certain guidelines. We have increased every accrual so that you accrue more PTO and you accrue it faster. But you still need to be aware of your PTO accrual. Under our Attendance Policy you will be assigned points if you exceed your PTO accrual or exceed your allotment of unscheduled PTO. The Company is allowing you to use 5 days of your total PTO accrual as unscheduled FLEX-Days, BUT FLEX Days are not automatically set aside for your use. FLEX-Days are carved out of your total PTO accrual. You cannot carry over FLEX-Days from a previous year. You are never allowed more than 40 hours of FLEX-Days per calendar year. A WORD OF CAUTION
