PTO: Time Off Requests and Information on PTO (2024)

The longer you’re here, the more you earn.

You earn PTO with every hour you work, and even when you use PTO. The more years you work for the Company, the faster you earn it. If you have access to Protected PTO where you work, you earn both regular and Protected PTO at the same time, except temporary associates who earn Protected PTO only.

The amount you earn depends on whether you’re full-time, part-time, or temporary. City and state rules also affect how much PTO you can earn. Please see the PTO policies for rate charts specific to your work location.

• Corporate and Home Office

PTO gives you choice and flexibility.

PTO gives you control over your time away and flexibility in how you use it. Request time off for just about anything: holidays, family time, sickness, or personal needs.

How much PTO can you use?

On February 1, the first day of the PTO plan year, you’ll have a certain number of PTO days available for use—an Annual PTO amount, plus any days you’ve carried over from the previous plan year. Unused PTO from the previous plan year may affect how much PTO you receive for the new plan year. See the PTO policy for details about PTO carryover.

PTO also works with other time-off programs like short-term disability, leave of absence, and parental and family care pay. Together, they offer support when you or a family member has a serious medical condition or for the birth, adoption, or foster placement of your child.

The longer you’re here, the more you earn.

The Annual PTO amount you get on Feb. 1 is based on the years of service you will celebrate during the plan year and your weekly work schedule (5, 4, or 3 days a week).

Note: In your first year, your initial grant of PTO days is prorated based on your month of hire.

Hourly California salaried equivalent pharmacists with management benefits

If you are an hourly California salaried equivalent pharmacist with management benefits, you’ll receive 80 hours of PTO as a new hire. At the beginning of each plan year, your PTO balance is topped up to 80 hours if the unused PTO balance you carry over from the previous plan year is less than 80 hours. Then, you’ll earn additional PTO hours based on service hours you log (e.g., worked hours, PTO used, and benefit hours like bereavement, jury duty, and parental pay, but not disability pay or workers’ compensation) up to the maximum for your service years.

With PTO, you have control over your time off and flexibility in how you use it. Take time off for just about anything: holidays, family time and personal needs, as well as unexpected time off when “life happens.” PTO you don’t use during the year will either roll over or turn into cash.

PTO also works with other time-off programs like short-term disability, leaves of absence, and parental and family care pay. Together, they offer support when you or a family member has a serious medical condition or for the birth, adoption, or foster placement of your child.
