Purpose and Rate of Pay. Paid Time Off (PTO) allows individual flexibility in time off, subject to the Employer’s reserved right to determine scheduling and ensure the continuity of patient care. PTO compensates Regular Nurses at their hourly base wage rate of pay when they are absent from work for such purposes as vacation, illness, holidays, family emergencies, religious observances, preventive health and dental care, and other approved elective absences. A Regular Nurse permanently assigned to evenings or nights at the time of payment will receive a full shift differential. See Section 7.5.7.
