Richland 2 staff propose front‑loading paid time off instead of monthly accrual in employee leave policy
Summary
District HR proposed changing GCC/GDC (employee leaves and absences) to advance paid time off at the start of the school year rather than accrue monthly; staff said the proposal would front‑load PTO allocations and then move unused time to sick leave at year end.
Richland School District 2 senior HR leadership presented a proposed revision to policy GCC/GDC to change how paid time off is allocated: instead of employees accruing leave monthly, staff asked the board to allow PTO to be advanced at the start of each employee’s work year.
“Our request tonight is, instead of us moving forward with the plan of implementing the policy as is where we are accruing leave, we're asking that we, change the policy so that employees will be, that they will earn their leave at the beginning of the year and it will be advanced to them at their time of the beginning of their school year,” said Dr. Franklin (presenting HR leadership language). The presentation explained an example: an employee whose year begins July 1 would be advanced the full annual PTO allocation at the start of that school year rather than earning it monthly.
Staff said the advanced PTO would apply for that year; at the end of the year, unused time would convert to sick leave and the new year's PTO would be advanced at the start of the next year. The board heard the proposal as an update and did not take action at the meeting.
