What happens to my current ActivePro time off on January 1, 2024?

If you are currently eligible for Vacation + Sick policy with ActivePro, your
current annual days off (and the way they increase throughout your
tenure) will be preserved.

The total allotted time off (vacation days + sick days) will be converted to Paid Time Off (PTO) days + 1 Floating Holiday.

Your new Paid time Off (PTO) hours can be used for a variety of reasons such as vacation, personal appointments, personal, or family illness. We think you’ll be excited for this change, as you will have greater flexibility in both planning and taking time off going forward!

Some examples follow below:

Please note, time off will no longer be front-loaded at the beginning of the year. Your PTO will accrue each pay period based on your accrual rate and hours paid in the period (up to 80), with ability to “borrow” up to 40 hours of PTO in excess of your accrued PTO balance (i.e., have a negative PTO balance), with manager approval.

Your length of service determines the rate at which you will accrue PTO, as outlined in the table below. Associates become eligible for an increased accrual rate on the first day of the pay period in which their employment anniversary falls.

NOTE: Because PTO is earned based upon hours paid, full-time employees with
less than 80 hours per pay period will earn PTO hours on a pro-rated basis
(accrual rate x hours worked).

For example:

A fulltime administrative staff employee employed for 2 years reports 75 hours in a pay period – – their accrual for that pay period would be 75 hrs. x .0539 = 4.042 hours.

The next pay period the same employee reports 80 hours – – their accrual for that pay period would be 80 hrs. x .0539 = 4.312 hours.

Additionally, employees who are PTO eligible will also be eligible for the PT Solutions Extended Illness Bank (EIB) benefit. The EIB is a company sponsored plan designed to provide pay during FMLA-qualified leaves of absence for eligible employees. EIB can be used for your own personal illness, newborn bonding, or for care of an immediate family member, and other leaves eligible under provisions of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA).

• The company contributes 2.05 hours per pay period to EIB on your behalf.
• EIB time may be used after 5 consecutive days of absence, and upon receipt of medical certification (in accordance with Family and Medical Leave Act procedures). PTO may be used for the first 5 days of absence, or unpaid, if preferred or if PTO is not available.
• The maximum EIB bank is 160 Hours (20 days), which will be fully funded in 3 years by company contributions (even sooner with unused PTO hour transfers).
