Time Away from Work
PTO
Roper St. Francis Healthcare provides a PTO program for teammates who are in a benefits-eligible position and are authorized to work 40 or more hours per pay period.
- PTO can be used for vacations, family illness, holidays and personal time.
- Accrual rates for PTO are based on most recent benefits eligible date and the total hours paid up to 80 hours per pay period.
- As long as you stay in a benefits-eligible position, you may roll over your PTO bank from year to year.
- The maximum accrual for PTO is 320 hours or 40 days for full-time teammates and 160 hours or 20 days for part-time teammates.
- In the event of separation, provided the teammate has a minimum of two years of service and proper notice is given and worked, PTO will be paid as follows:
- For 2–5 years of service, PTO will be paid out at $.50 on the dollar;
- for 5 years of service or more, PTO will be paid out at full value.
| Years of Service in a Benefits-Eligible Position | Accrual Rate | The examples below are based on a 1.0 FTE teammate working 2,080 hours per year with 8 hour shifts. Accruals vary based on a teammate's paid hours. |
|---|---|---|
| 0-5 years | .0923/hour | This equals approximately 191.96 hours or 24 days/year. |
| 5-10 years | .1038/hour | This equals approximately 215.90 hours or 27 days/year. |
| 10+ years | .1154/hour | This equals approximately 240.03 hours or 30days/year. |

- The accrual rate is .0385 hours for each hour worked in a pay period up to 80 hours per pay period.
- The maximum accrual is 560 hours for full-time teammates (64–80 hours pay period) and 280 hours for part-time teammates (40–63.9 hours pay period).
- EIH used for personal illness will be paid following 16 consecutive hours of PTO or unpaid leave unless you are hospitalized or have an outpatient surgery/procedure.
- EIH hours have no cash value and are forfeited upon separation or status change to non-benefits eligible.
