Common use of Accrual Limit Clause in Contracts

Accrual Limit. When a bargaining unit member accrues the full annual PTO credit, consistent with the chart in Section 8.2, the bargaining unit member will not accrue any additional PTO until the bargaining unit member uses part of the accrued leave. If the employee is denied time off after a timely request for time off has been made, as defined in Section 8.5 (e), and the denial of time off will result in a loss of accrual of PTO, the employer will cash out PTO in eight (8) hour increments such that the employee’s PTO will remain below the maximum limit. When some PTO is used, PTO will again begin to accrue to the bargaining unit member’s maximum annual limit only. No retroactive credit will be given for the time when accrued personal leave was at the cap.
