CAC Employee Handbook June 2024

If required to work on a designated holiday, those hours will be paid in addition to the paid holiday.

Full-time employees with at least 90 calendar days of service are eligible to participate in the paid holiday program at 8 paid hours per designated holiday.

Holiday pay does not count toward the calculation of overtime.

If a practice recognized holiday falls during an eligible employee’s vacation, holiday pay will be provided instead of the vacation day that otherwise would have been applied.

Paid Time Off (PTO)

Paid time off is available to eligible employees to provide opportunities to rest, relax, and pursue special interests. Paid time off may be used for vacation time, personal appointments and commitments, illness, etc. Holidays are recognized outside of this category (i.e., they are not considered PTO) and are detailed in the previous section.

Regular full-time employees are eligible to participate in the paid time off program as outlined below:

• One year of service

15 days paid equivalent to 120 hours paid . . . earned at a rate of 30 hours per quarter

• Three years of service

20 days paid equivalent to 160 hours paid . . . earned at a rate of 40 hours per quarter

• Seven years of service

25 days paid equivalent to 200 hours paid . . . earned at a rate of 50 hours per quarter

Full-time employees who meet eligibility requirements will receive 8 hours pay per designated PTO day. PTO may be taken in increments of two (2) hours.

On the first calendar day of each quarter (January, April, July and October), full-time employees earn the number of quarterly hours in keeping with their length of (full-time) service. Employees may carry forward PTO hours throughout the year, but may not carry them over from one year to another.
