Changing PTO-Eligible Status or Leaving Carilion

If you switch to flex time, your PTO balance and accrual rate may be affected.

• If you change from full-time, regular part-time or part-time to flex-time, your PTO balance will be paid out and you will no longer accrue PTO because you are no longer in an eligible status.
• If you switch back to a PTO-eligible status within 1 year, your PTO accrual rate will be reinstated.
• If you transfer to a PTO-eligible status after 1 year of being a flex-time employee, you will begin accruing PTO based upon the date that you transferred back to a PTO eligible status (full-time, regular part-time, part-time).

For more information, see the Benefits Guide - Status Change (.pdf).

Employees with greater than six (6) months of service in a PTO eligible status are paid for accrued PTO upon involuntary separation or change to a PTO-ineligible position or status.

• You are required to provide proper notice of termination to be eligible to be paid for your PTO. Your required notice is either 14 or 30 days and is determined by your position as outlined in the PTO policy.
• If you are rehired into a PTO-eligible status within 1 year of your separation, your original PTO accrual date will be reinstated.
• If you are rehired into a PTO-eligible status after 1 year, your PTO accrual will be based upon your rehire date.
• When you retire (receive a pension), you will be paid your PTO balance and forfeit any EIB hours you have.
