Borrowing PTO Time (PTO Repayment Agreement)
This is utilized when an employee would like to "borrow" PTO time.
PTO Repayment Agreement:
After signing a PTO Repayment Agreement you will not be able to request another PTO Repayment Agreement for 12 months. The hours in this PTO Repayment Agreement will be entered into Epilink after you enter billable hours in Epilink and/or the client system for a future date from the ones in the PTO Repayment Agreement.
Before Three Months:
If you want to use paid time off, you can borrow PTO by utilizing our PTO Repayment Agreement which lets you borrow up to 24 hours of your PTO time. The PTO Repayment Agreement does not affect your paycheck. It only impacts you in the sense that you will not be able to use PTO until your PTO bank is positive. Also, you can only borrow time 12 months after your last PTO Repayment Agreement.
If you want to use a PTO Repayment Agreement, please submit a request through the Employee Portal stating the exact dates and amount of hours requested (up to 24 hours), and Epitec will send you a form to sign. Once you sign it, Epitec will enter the PTO hours in Epilink on your behalf.
After Three Months at Epitec:
You can view your accrued PTO in your dashboard of Epilink Employee Portal (where you log your hours) on the right hand side. If you click on "Available PTO Hours" you will be able to see how many hours you have accrued per payroll cycle, how many hours of PTO you have utilized, etc.
Please keep in mind that if you are using a PTO Repayment Agreement to have extra PTO time, your PTO hours must be entered BEFORE you sign the PTO Repayment Agreement. If you fail to do this, you will not be able to enter your PTO hours and Finance will have to do so. If you want to use a PTO Repayment Agreement, please submit a request through the Employee Portal stating the exact dates and amount of hours requested, and we will send you a form to sign. Once you sign it, Finance will enter those hours in Epilink on your behalf.
