If an employee returns to Duke within one year of layoff, what happens to
Carry-Over Bank (COB)?

If an employee works greater than one-half of their
shift,
then goes home sick, how do we deduct less than 4 hours?
Current policy states that exempt employees cannot deduct less than 4 hours
from their PTO banks. Exempt employees are expected to work the required hours
based upon their full-time equivalent (at
home, additional time or whatever it takes to accomplish the work). If a pattern
or trend is identified, the manager can address this as attendance or
performance issue.

Short-Term Bank (STB) hours are paid to the estate at 100%.
How does PTO work with short term disability, long term disability, and

Compensation, you may supplement the disability and workers' compensation with

over bank.
