Hybrid Paid Time Off

Full-time employees covered by the VRS Hybrid Plan earn Hybrid paid time off (PTO). This paid leave is used for many different purposes such as vacation, during an employee or family member's illness or injury, and/or personal pursuits. Hybrid PTO is earned according to the schedule below.

Eight hours of Hybrid PTO is awarded at the time of hire and at the beginning of each subsequent calendar year. The remainder is accrued on a monthly basis according to the following chart:

Months of Service	Initial PTO Award	PTO Hours Accrued Per Month	Total Annual PTO Hours	Max Hours Carry-Over	Max Hours Pay-Out
1-36	8	10	128	192	128
37-60	8	12	152	228	152
61-120	8	14	176	264	176
120-180	8	16	200	300	200
181-240	8	18	224	336	224
241+	8	20	248	372	248

If your anniversary falls on or before the 15th of the month, the Hybrid PTO leave you accrue per month increases in that month. If your anniversary falls after the 15th of the month, the Hybrid PTO leave you accrue per month increases in the following month. The anniversary date for leave accruals is based on your start date as a full-time employee.

Other absences with pay include holiday leave, funeral leave, court service, military leave, and injury leave. Total creditable service for full-time PTO accrual purposes shall be computed from the date of appointment or conversion to an eligible full-time position. Employees receiving Short-Term Disability under VLDP benefits do not accrue PTO while receiving Short-Term Disability payments. Refer to the Employment Policies & Procedures manual for additional information.
