Paid Time Away (PTA) Policy Available Online

04/02/10

The Office of Human Resources would like to continue sharing information with the campus community regarding the new approach to Paid time Away (PTA) for staff and administration. Employees can now access the PTA policy that will go into effect June 1, 2010 by visiting our website: https://www.ithaca.edu/hr/documents/policies/pta_policy_2010/

HR has been fielding individual questions over the past academic year to assist staff members in their understanding of the new approach to PTA.  The main changes include the following:

• New policy language regarding amounts/maximums for specific benefit groups.
• Loading an entire year's worth of PTA for staff members on June 1st of each year.
• Granting all personal time at the beginning of each fiscal year (change from waiting until anniversary date).
• If an individual passes a significant anniversary date in the upcoming year - which impacts PTA - it would be recognized on June 1st.
• The ability for staff members and their supervisors to submit and approve PTA on-line in Oracle (Parnassus).

Please take a look through the policy language and refer any questions you may have to Mark Coldren at x-3853 or mcoldren@ithaca.edu.  Communications will be coming out at the end of April and the beginning of May to describe how we propose to load balances into the new PTA on-line system. 

Thank you.
