Current PTO Policies Currently 23 separate PTO policies Hours based accrual methodology Lack of standardization and parity across platform Excessive number of grandfathered employees and PTO policies to administer Difficult to communicate and administer for Managers and HR
PTO Consolidation Recommendation s Tie eligibility to employment status (FT, PT >=20 hrs / wk , PT<20 hrs / wk , PRN, Seasonal, Temporary) Collapse to 4 policies Leaders - Supervisor, Manager, Practice Administrators, Directors Advanced Practice Practitioners Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Physician Assistants, Nurse Practitioners Rank and File – all other non-leadership Team members and JYI part-time (>=20 hrs / wk ) positions Maryland based part-timers – jurisdictional requirement Retain hours-based accrual methodology Retain 90-day introductory period hold Retain 120-hour carryover maximum 8/31 date for Rank and File 10/31 date for Leaders and APPs ~20 employees will be grandfathered at current accrual rate until next threshold of accrual/tenure is reached
Proposed PTO Policies Avoid any reduction of current accrual schedule Small escalation in accrual schedule with milestones based on tenure Standardize APPs accrual schedules across tenure, classifications, and practices Provide tenured leaders with higher accrual schedule than their similarly tenured employee
Increases in Accrual Schedule 29 Supv , Mgrs , Dirs , Practice Admins ($44,745) 24 Physician Assistants ($18,840) Physical Therapists ($12,500) Rank and File ($11,238) Actual costs will be mitigated by retaining the 120 carryover rules currently in place and requiring leaders to use their PTO for extended periods away from the office, even if some work is performed during their absence. Those employees that don’t align into current policies will be grandfathered into an override policy until next threshold of accrual/tenure is reached.
