Unpaid Time Off

Epitec’s policy for unpaid time off is as follows, “If an employee is out of the office for any reason, any available PTO hours must be used prior to taking unpaid time off.”

This policy is enforced across Epitec’s entire employee base and cannot be changed on a case by case basis. Each week Epitec processes payroll, they determine whether there are employees who have less than 40 hours and an available PTO balance. If this is the case, the PTO balance up to 40 hours total for the week will be entered on behalf of the employee.

As a reminder, Epitec is not preventing you from taking time off but instead, are requiring you to use your PTO time first.
