What’s New in HR …
- Holiday Hour Increments
Team members may now use their Holiday bank in hourly increments. Any banked holiday time may be taken in hourly increments up to the team member’s normal work schedule. For example, if a team member is scheduled off on a holiday they will receive applicable holiday pay. If a team member is scheduled to work on the holiday, those holiday hours earned will be stored in the holiday bank and may be used later in hourly increments.
- PAL Cash-In Opportunity
Beginning February 20, 2017 – March 18, 2017, benefit eligible hourly team members may cash-in Paid Annual Leave (PAL) hours up to 40 hours.
