Paid Time Off (PTO)

Our PTO benefits give you flexible options that respond to your life and needs.

How It Works

If you’re a regular full-time or part-time employee, you earn PTO to use for holidays, vacations, sick days and other personal reasons.

  • You start earning (accruing) PTO on your first day of work.
  • The amount you accrue is based on the number of regular hours you work (up to your standard hours) and years of service.
  • The more years of service you have, the more PTO you can accrue.
  • Plus, you can carry over up to 200 hours of PTO into the next calendar year.

Always coordinate with your supervisor to keep him or her up to date on your plans to take time off.

How You Accrue

Here’s how PTO accrues for most employees:

  • Plan Your Time Off

    Self-care is important for safe care. Safety isn’t just physical, it’s emotional too. The demands of our daily work can be great, that's why it's important to prioritize self-care and asking for support when you need it.

    Coordinate with your manager to schedule time away to do something that brings you joy.

Annual Carryover

Employees can carryover 200 hours into the new year. Any balance over 200 after Jan. 1, 2023, will be reduced to 200 hours on Jan. 2, 2023, and excess hours will be forfeited. It is important to consider the carryover limit when scheduling PTO and determining if you want to participate in the PTO Sell/Donate campaign.

PTO Sell/Donate

While there is no substitute for taking time away from work to rest and recharge, eligible employees can choose to sell and/or donate PTO during our annual campaign, running each fall.

The annual limit for sell/donate is a combined 80 hours per year to split as you see fit—sell all 80 hours, donate all 80 hours or anything in between.

Note: Any hours donated in the spring will count towards this annual limit. ​​​​​​​

  • Sell PTO 
    If you sell PTO, you will receive 90% of your hourly pay rate (due to IRS regulations) multiplied by the number of hours sold. The amount sold will be subject to applicable payroll taxes and is 401(k) eligible.

  • Donate PTO
    This year, if you donate to a BSW Foundation and/or United Way, you can designate your donation to the areas of need that matter most to you.
