6.1 General While regular attendance is crucial to maintaining business operations, the Company recognizes that, for a variety of reasons, employees may need time off from work. The Company has available a number of types of leaves of absence. Some are governed by law and others are discretionary. For all planned leaves, however, employees must submit a request at least 3 days in advance; in case of emergencies, employees should submit the request as soon as they become aware of the need for leave. All leaves must have the approval of the Company. If, during a leave, an employee accepts another job, engages in other employment or consulting outside of the Company, or applies for unemployment insurance benefits, the employee may be considered to have voluntarily resigned from employment with the Company.
All requests for a leave of absence will be considered based on their effect on the Company and its work requirements, as determined by the Company management, which reserves the right to approve or deny such requests in its sole discretion, unless otherwise required by law. For disability-related leave requests, the Company will engage in an interactive process with the employee to determine if a leave is the most appropriate accommodation. The employee must provide certification from their health care provider to support a leave for medical reasons. Failure to provide the required certification to the Company in a timely manner will result in delay or denial of leave. If an employee requires an extension of leave, the employee must request such extension and have it approved before the expiration of the currently approved leave. While the Company will make a reasonable effort to return the employee to their former position or a comparable position following an approved leave of absence, there is no guarantee that the employee will be reinstated to their position, or any position, except as required by law.
6.2 Paid Time Off Midwest provides Paid Time Off (PTO) to eligible employees to encourage a work-life balance and allow time for rest, personal matters, and illness. This policy outlines PTO eligibility, usage, and other important details.
Full-time employees, working at least 37.5 hours or more per week, are eligible for PTO based on years of service. Part-time employees working at least 20 hours per week are eligible to receive 40 hours of PTO per year. *Based on local or state laws this number may vary. Temporary or contract employees are not eligible to receive PTO unless otherwise specified. Accrual & Allocation
