(3) An employee can elect not to use PTO for a physical disability leave upon the exhaustion of ESL, and, to request instead an unpaid leave. (4) Employees who are on the SEIU Bargaining Team may elect not to use PTO to attend bargaining. e. PTO requests shall not be unreasonably denied because of the season of the year. f. On approval of Human Resources, employees may donate unused PTO hours to another employee who has experienced an unforeseeable medical emergency as defined by the IRS. Employees must maintain a minimum PTO balance of forty (40) hours after the donation. 4. Use of ESL. a. ESL is to be used for absences from work that exceed three (3) consecutive workdays or five (5) calendar days, whichever is earlier, and that are necessary because of the employee’s own physical disability. If the employee is hospitalized or has same day surgery at an outpatient surgery center or hospital, ESL may be used commencing with the first day of hospitalization or same day surgery. In accordance with California Assembly Bill 109 (AB 109), employees may use a maximum of three (3) days of ESL each calendar year to attend to the illness of an employee’s child, parent, spouse or legally domiciled adult. An employee must have completed one full year of employment as a regular employee to be eligible to use ESL for the care of a family member as defined above. Guidelines covering ESL for an employee’s own illness apply to the use of ESL for family illness. An employee can elect to use PTO for the three (3) or five (5) day waiting period. ESL not used for family illness in one calendar year may not be carried over to the next year. Appropriate documentation of the family member illness is required for an employee to access ESL for the care of a family member. b. Reasonable medical or other verification or information may be requested by the Employer regarding unplanned absences or the use of ESL. Such information or verification also may be required upon an employee’s return from an illness or injury, or if the Employer believes a question exists as to the employee’s ability to work. c. PTO/ESL is to be used in increments of eight (8) hours unless one of the following exists: (1) Advance approval is obtained for less than eight (8) hours; (2) The employee’s regular shift is greater or less than eight hours, in which case PTO/ESL hours equal to the shift shall be used; or, 80
(3) The employee is eligible for State Disability or Workers Compensation payments, in which case ESL shall be integrated to supplement such payments; or, (4) An emergency requires an employee’s absence for less than a full shift, in which ease the Employer may excuse the employee from the full shift, with equivalent PTO/ESL hours being used, or it may require that the employee report back to work. d. PTO/ESL hours shall be paid at the straight-time rate in effect as of the date PTO/ESL is used (or cashed in, in the case of PTO) plus any shift differential/premium to which the employee may be entitled. e. Upon termination from employment, employees shall be paid for all PTO hours accumulated but not taken. At the time of retirement, if an employee has twenty (20) years of service and is at least the age of fiftyfive (55), he/she shall be eligible to cash out fifty percent (50%) of all ESL hours. f. In cases where an employee is eligible to receive disability benefit payments (State Disability Insurance or Workers’ Compensation), the employee shall apply for such benefits. To the extent that the disability payments do not equal the employee’s normal wages, the employee’s ESL (or PTO if elected by the employee, if applicable) shall be used in an amount sufficient to equal but not exceed the employee’s straight-time rate of pay and any shift differential for scheduled hours. Where ESL/PTO is subject to integration with State Disability Insurance or Workers’ Compensation, it shall be paid promptly even if information as to the precise amount of State Disability Insurance or Workers’ Compensation payments is not immediately available. Employees cannot be required to use PTO for physical disability absences or leaves. If PTO is to be used for a leave, however, the employee must use it immediately upon exhaustion of ESL and it must be used for consecutive workday(s) thereafter. Prior to the exhaustion of ESL the employee must advise the Employer in writing of his/her desire to use PTO. For purposes of this paragraph “265” only, a “leave” is to be construed as a physical disability absence exceeding three (3) workdays or five (5) calendar days, unless the employee is hospitalized. g. PTO/ESL can only be used on scheduled workdays. h. Upon one week’s written notice from an employee, the PTO pay for which the employee is eligible for time off of two (2) weeks or longer shall be available to him/her immediately prior to the commencement of the employee’s time off period. Further, if an employee’s PTO time off 81
