Common use of Maximum Limit Clause in Contracts

Maximum Limit. The maximum PTO accrual is 600 hours. Effective January 1, 2019, the maximum PTO accrual will be one and one-half times (1 ½) the annual maximum accrual amount as listed below. No future PTO may be accrued or vested until the nurse’s maximum accrued unused PTO has been reduced below the maximum, at which point PTO can again be accrued to the maximum. In the event, however, that a leave request has been denied at least 60 days but no more than six (6) months earlier, where granting the request would have avoided reaching the maximum limit, a nurse may accumulate above the accrual cap until the granting of a PTO request brings the nurse below the cap no more than six (6) months thereafter; provided that the nurse notified his or her supervisor at the time of the leave request that denial of the request will result in an accumulation above the cap.
