Not Worked: An Employee not scheduled to work on holidays will be compensated at the <br />normal hourly rate. <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 />8. PERSONAL TIME OFF <br />LEAVE WITH PAY <br />8.1 Personal Time Off / Earned Sick and Safe Time (PTO/ESST) <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 />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 />8.2 Accrual <br />Rate of Accrual: Full-time/Part-time/Seasonal/Temporary Employees shall earn <br />PTO/ESST leave at the following rates. <br />PTO/ESST ACCRUAL FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES ACCRUAL <br />Per Pay <br />Hours <br />Days <br />Months of Service <br />Accrual <br />Annually <br />Annually <br />0 — 36 months <br />6.77 hours <br />176 hrs <br />22 <br />3 ears <br />37 — 108 months <br />8.31 hours <br />216 hrs <br />27 <br />9 ears <br />109 — 180 months <br />9.85 hours <br />256 hrs <br />32 <br />15 ears <br />181 — 240 months <br />11.38 hours <br />296 hrs <br />37 <br />20 ears <br />241 or more months <br />20+ <br />12.92 hours <br />336 hrs <br />42 <br />ears <br />Page 16 of 60 <br />
