Full-time and part-time associates working at least 20 hours per week accrue PTO each pay period, according to position and length of service. For example, full-time associates (40 scheduled hours per week) with less than five completed years of service accrue 25 PTO days. You may carry time over from year to year, however, once the maximum or cap is reached, additional accruals stop until time is used. New associates are eligible to use PTO after 90 days.
| Years of Service | Accrual Rate | Annual Accrual* | Maximum |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 through 5 | 0.0962 per hour paid/worked | 25 days (200 hours) | 31 days (248 hours) |
| 6 through 15 | 0.1116 per hour paid/worked | 29 days (232 hours) | 36 days (288 hours) |
| More than 15 | 0.1231 per hour paid/worked | 32 days (256 hours) | 40 days (320 hours) |
* Annual accrual shown is based on a 1.0 FTE.
Note: PTO accrual schedule and usage eligibility may differ for selected associates, for example physicians and residents.
Nemours also offers an annual PTO Buyback option that allows eligible associates to sell a certain number of unused PTO hours.
