Whenever possible, exempt (salaried) employees should
schedule PTO at least 30 days in advance via the Company’s
timekeeping system and nonexempt (hourly) employees
should request the time off at least five days in advance
using the payroll system or other process for your location.
If you need PTO to address a sudden personal need
or illness, you should notify your manager as soon as
possible. In order to provide coverage for your absence we
appreciate as much notice as possible for your time off.

Management approval must be obtained prior to taking
time off except in the case of unexpected illness or
emergencies. For unexpected illness or emergencies, you
should follow the call-in process and talk to your manager.
Employees may be denied PTO during certain periods or
may be asked to take it at certain non-critical times due to
business need (expect in the case of illness). Managers may
limit the number of employees on a work team who may
schedule PTO at the same time. You are encouraged not
to make plans for your time off until your PTO request has
been approved.

EXCEPTIONS:
• Employees who miss more than three consecutive
unscheduled days may be required to present a doctor’s
release to Human Resources that permits them to return
to work.
• PTO time must be accrued for use – you may not take
PTO hours into the negative or borrow against future
accrued time.
