Partially funded absences that extend beyond one day are subject to disciplinary action.

Can an employee fund an absence with accrued vacation time or purchased time off (PTO) instead of going unpaid if they exhausted all of their OI?

Managers must offer this option consistently and advise the employee that the absence may still be subject to disciplinary action (since the absence/tardy) is not funded with OI time.

The employee will receive holiday pay in addition to the OI time. If the employee worked part of the day, OI time should be entered for the time the employee did not work.
