Hourly Paid Time Off Policy

Beginning January 01, 2019, High Performance Homes employees who have worked a minimum of 200 hours and who continuously average 30 or more hours per work week throughout a year, qualify to earn Hourly Paid Time Off. Hourly Paid Time Off is earned at the following rates:

Employees of less than 1 year:

  • .03 PTO Hours per employment hour reported

  • Maximum of 60 PTO hours can be earned in one calendar year

Employees of 1–4 years:

  • .04 PTO Hours per employment hour reported

  • Maximum of 80 PTO hours can be earned in a calendar year

Employees of 5 or more years:

  • .05 PTO Hours per employment hour reported

  • Maximum of 100 PTO hours can be earned in a calendar year

About Qualifying PTO:

  • Hours will be calculated beginning January 01, 2019.

  • Earned PTO will accrue for all employees after their first 200 hours of employment have been reported, as per the time tracking policy.

  • New employees who work less than 200 hours within the calendar year applied do not qualify for PTO.

  • Qualifying employees are considered full-time, averaging 30 or more hours per week throughout the year.

  • Work weeks with weather delays, as determined by a supervisor, do not discount the eligibility of a qualifying employee.

  • Qualifying employees must use their time within the same calendar year it was earned. PTO hours do not roll over into subsequent years.

  • Employees can choose to use earned PTO, or receive a bonus in the amount of earned PTO at the end of the calendar year earned.

  • Though not required, HPLH encourages all employees with earned PTO to use PTO credit for which it is intended: paid personal, family, or sick leave.

  • No more than 3 PTO days can be used in a calendar month between May 1st and September 30th.

  • Unless under extenuating circumstances or illness, advance notice of 2 weeks or more must be given in order to use earned PTO.

  • In the event of a qualifying employee’s termination or resignation, PTO earned will be paid to the employee as a bonus.

  • Company PTO benefits may be eliminated at any time. However, earned PTO stays with the qualifying employee through the end of the year earned, or until the employee is released from Company service.
