professional, court, attorney, or clergy. The Company will keep the reasons and details surrounding the need for leave confidential.

Leave for Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, Stalking or Harassment will be unpaid; however, unless you have accrued PTO, if you have accrued PTO it will be used for the absences. Leave may run concurrently with other federal and/or state leave laws, if applicable.

VETERAN’S DAY LEAVE

Eligible partners may request the day off on Veterans Day. Partners are eligible if they served on active duty in the Armed Forces for at least six months and received an honorable discharge. Military service in the reserve or National Guard does not qualify unless the partner was deployed or served on active duty for six months or more. The Company may request documentation establishing the partner’s status as an eligible veteran. Partners requesting the day off must do so at least 21 days in advance. The request may be denied if the time off creates an undue hardship to our operations. In these circumstances, the partner will be allowed to take another day off before the following Veterans Day to honor the holiday. This leave is unpaid; however, you may use any accrued paid time off (PTO).

VACATION OR PAID TIME OFF (PTO)

Everyone needs to have time off for rest and relaxation.

You earn vacation/PTO from the first day of your employment until the last active day of your employment. An account is established for you in which the Company credits the appropriate fraction of your annual accrual amount each week (e.g., 10 days = 80 hours per year = 1.538462 hours per week).

Please refer to your specific Paid Time Off policy and Attendance policy for individual details.

Employees who work a reduced work schedule may still participate in the Company’s vacation or PTO programs if the employee works at least 30 hours per week. The accrual of paid time away from work is based upon the employee’s reduced pay and/or number of h ours worked.

The Company strongly encourages you to use your vacation/PTO during the year in which it is earned. DKB employees will stop earning PTO whenever their PTO account reaches the annual accrual amount. In this case, accrual will resume after time off is taken and deducted from the account. No payment will be made in lieu of time off.

Accrued vacation or PTO is not payable at termination until an individual has completed the 30-day benefits eligibility waiting period,
