Not Worked: An Employee not scheduled to work on holidays will be compensated at the <br />normal hourly rate. <br /> <br />On Leave: (Full-time employees only)Holidays occurring during an Employee’s <br />PTO/ESST or funeral leave will be considered a holiday and the Employee’s leave bank will <br />not be charged for PTO/ESST or funeral on that day. <br /> <br />8. PERSONAL TIME OFF <br /> LEAVE WITH PAY <br />8.1 Personal Time Off/ Earned Sick and Safe Time (PTO/ESST) <br /> <br />The city provides Personal Time Off/Earned Safe and Sick Time (PTO/ESST) to all <br />employees. Rather than providing separate policies for vacation and sick leave (inclusive <br />of state mandated Earned Sick and Safe Time, the City has implemented a <br />comprehensive Personal Time Off (PTO/ESST) program. We believe this consolidated <br />approach offers our employees enhanced flexibility in managing their time off. PTO/ESST <br />is designed to provide employees with flexible paid time off from work that can be used <br />for such needs as vacation, personal, or family illness, doctor appointments, school <br />volunteerism, and other activities of the employee’s choice. <br /> <br />In accordance with Minnesota State Law, this personal time off may be used for the same <br />purposes and under the same conditions as earned sick and safe time (see Earned Sick <br />and Safe Time policy). Given that, it is the employee’s responsibility to manage their <br />PTO/ESST wisely. This involves, when possible, advanced planning for vacations, <br />doctor's appointments, and personal affairs. It's also essential to allocate some <br />PTO/ESST as a "reserve" for unexpected situations or emergencies. <br /> <br />8.2 Accrual <br /> <br />Rate of Accrual: Full-time/Part-time/Seasonal/Temporary Employees shall earn <br />PTO/ESST leave at the following rates. <br /> <br />PTO/ESST ACCRUAL FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES ACCRUAL <br />Hours <br />Per Pay Days <br />Months of Service <br />Accrual Annually <br />Annually <br />0 – 36 months <br />6.77 hours 176 hrs 22 <br />(3 years) <br />37 –108 months <br />8.31 hours 216 hrs 27 <br />(9 years) <br />109 –180 months <br />9.85 hours 256 hrs 32 <br />(15 years) <br />181 –240 months <br />11.38 hours 296 hrs37 <br />(20 years) <br />241 or more months <br />12.92 hours 336 hrs 42 <br />(20+ years) <br />Page 16 of 60 <br /> <br />
