Using PTO

PTO may be used for just about any reason:

  • Holidays - Time for six paid holidays is included in PTO. You have flexibility to use PTO time for the holidays that are most meaningful to you, or use this PTO for any other reason.
  • When needing to be away from work - You will use PTO for vacations, unplanned absences or the occasional sick day.
  • Short-term disability waiting period - You may choose to use PTO to get paid during the seven-day waiting period for short-term disability if you need to be away from work for an extended period due to your own medical condition.

How do I use my existing time from the old program?
  • Personal days - Your Legacy Personal days are maintained as a separate balance until used up. Personal days can be used for any reason, after you have used all your PTO.
  • Sick days - Your Legacy Sick days are maintained as a separate balance until used up. 
    • Part-time drivers: Once your PTO is used, you can use your sick days to cover time missed due to illness for yourself or an eligible family member.
  • Personal sick days - Your Legacy Personal sick days will be held apart from your PTO as a separate balance until used up. You can use it without first using PTO, to make up your Average Daily Pay (ADP) for short days. You can also use it once you have exhausted PTO.
