General Information

1. The purpose of the use of PTO benefits is at the discretion of the employee (i.e., PTO can be used for
   vacation, personal business, brief illness (less than three days in duration), intermittent use under the FMLA,
   or for medical/dental appointments that cannot be scheduled during non-working hours). Anticipated use is
   to be requested of and approved by the employee's supervisor.
2. Illness for which the Short-Term Disability Bank benefit shall be utilized is illness requiring three or
   more consecutive days off work or intermittent use of designated FMLA. Use of the STDB requires a written
   physician certification, and is described in detail in policy #3.1080, Short-Term Disability Bank (STDB) of
   sick days.
3. The University's PTO period is July through June. Employees accrue one-twelfth (1/12) of their
   annual allotment for each calendar month worked. PTO for a given calendar year may be taken prior to
   accrual subject to the employee reimbursing the University for any used but not yet accrued time taken at the
   time the employee leaves employment. PTO must be used in the same calendar year in which it is accrued,
   except that up to five (5.0) days of unused PTO may be carried into the next year, for use on or before
   June 30 of that year.
4. Regular part-time employees as defined in Policy 1.1050, Employee Categories, shall receive 50%
   PTO&STD benefits.
5. Terminating employees will receive payment for accrued but unused PTO, including any carry over
   PTO as allowed in paragraph 3. For this purpose the employee shall be deemed to have accrued 1/12 of
   his/her annual accrual for each full or partial calendar month worked. Employees who leave employment
   having taken more PTO than had accrued at the time of termination are required to reimburse the employer
   for any excess PTO taken. The employee will be required to complete the PTO Repayment Authorization
   form (Exhibit 14).
