So I need some clarification about PTO. I work full time at a hospital and get 29 days of PTO a year, 8.92 hrs every two wks accrued (vacation, sick days, however u want to use it). I want to know what happens when the end of the year approaches like from oct-dec? if you are earning pto every two wks that means by the end of the year everyone would want to take pto because the new year would begin and you would possibly lose those hours?? In my manual it basically says "PTO must be used in a calendar year in which it was given and no rollover will be accepted". So do PTO hours roll over to the next new year, say for hrs accrued in Nov 2015, do you still have access to those hours til Nov 2016? or u have to cash out? also if you are earning 8.92 hours of pto every two wks, that means in 4 wks u get 17ish hours, so that covers for the 13 hour shifts I do at the hospital, correct? because If i did PTO with only 8.92 hrs in my bank, it wouldnt even pay me for a normal shift of work, correct?
lastly, I put in for 2 wks vacation time in august, just wondering do i get paid for the 3 days/wk i am technically supposed to work or if i have enough pto i can get paid for the 13 days I am gone or is that not possible cuz it would land into overtime hours?
