Common use of Approved PTO Clause in Contracts

Approved PTO. Approved PTO shall not be affected by later requests unless mutually agreeable. Once approved, a nurse shall not later be required to find a replacement for PTO granted. However, if there is insufficient PTO at the time of intended use to cover the previously requested time off, the nurse’s PTO request will not be converted to a request for unpaid time off absent approval by the Employer. Nurses who apply to transfer to a different unit with previously approved PTO shall let the managermeet with the manager of that unit know about any previously approved PTO, and the manager will then notify the nurse to discuss whether the previously approved PTO can carry over to the unit, or if it would be cancelled as a result of the transfer. Such notice will be provided at the the time the transfer is offered, or sooner.
