Cinnaminson DC Handbook

Example1: You were hired December 18, 2021. On January 2, 2022, you call in and say that you are using a FLEX-Day and are not coming in to work today. When you return to work on January 3, you will receive 2 points for the absence. But, I thought I had FLEX-Days? If you are a new employee, you accrue 1.8461053 hours of PTO per week, meaning it will take you five weeks to accrue eight hours of PTO. Plus, you are not allowed to use your PTO until you have been employed for 30 days.

Example 2: It is March and you have already used your 5 FLEX-Days. You wake up feeling very sick. You call in to

You will be charged any accrued PTO for the absence; and you will receive 2 points for the absence. But, I thought I had FLEX-Days? You had 40 hours of FLEX-Days for your use throughout the whole year. You used them by March and did not have them when you needed them. Example 3: You have 8 hours of PTO accrual. You decide that you want to take one of your pre-scheduled days off. Your request was approved, and you take the time off. The next week, you wake up with a stomach virus and t come to work saying that you want to use one of your FLEX to the attendance policy and will receive 2 points.

But, I thought I had FLEX-Days? Your Flex-Days are a carve out of your total PTO accrual. You used your total PTO accrual as soon as you got it, leaving you no PTO hours in your bank to use as a FLEX-Day.

Example 4: You are a 4-year employee, earning 15 days of PTO throughout each year. You accrue 2.307692 hours of PTO per week, meaning it takes you almost 4 weeks to earn a day of PTO. You carried over 32 hours of PTO from 2021. In mid-January, you get the flu and are out 5 days. But, I thought I had FLEX-Days? You are required to use PTO for all time away from work. The 32 hours of PTO that you carried over plus the first 2 weeks accrual from January will be deducted from your PTO accrual for the 5 days that you were out. At the end of January, you will only have 4.6154 hours of PTO available. If you call in on February 1, requesting a FLEX-Day, you will not have enough PTO time available and will be subject to the attendance policy.

*************************************

Your total PTO availability changes every week and you are responsible for knowing what PTO you have available. Your total accrued (available) PTO is on your paystub each week. Hours are made available to you and it is up to you to manage them. Points can and will be assigned if you exhaust your available PTO and then need it for unforeseen circumstances.
