Time Away
Paid Time Off
We believe Associates should have opportunities to enjoy time away from work to help balance their lives. Our Paid Time-Off (PTO) policy was designed to meet your diverse needs and have established this Paid Time-Off (PTO) policy to meet varying time-off requests.
We allocate the annual available PTO to Associates on January 1st of each year to provide scheduling flexibility to Associates and Managers. However, PTO is accrued each pay period based on the number of completed calendar days in the period.
In your first year of employment, your available PTO will be pro-rated based on your date of hire. Part-time Associates will be allocated and accrue PTO on a prorated basis consistent with their standard work schedule.
You will become eligible for the next level of available PTO on the first day of the calendar year in which you reach a new tenure milestone.
| Years of Service | Annual Available PTO | Earned Accrual Rate per Completed Pay Period | Yearly Maximum Carryover |
