It is the policy of DPI to encourage employees to use their accrued PTO/sick time* and enjoy time away from work with their families. Every effort will be made to accommodate employee requests after considering business need and the anticipated employee scheduling needs of the Company. PTO requests will be considered on a first come, first served basis.
Where possible this form is to be fully completed no less than two weeks prior to the onset of the requested PTO unless it is an unforeseen absence due to illness, injury or request for a protected leave of absence. PTO is not to be requested, nor is it approved, by the client. DPI reserves the right to deny any PTO request based on business need.
If time off is being requested due to a medical issue or other potential leave of absence, please review the relevant policy (Leave of Absence, FMLA, Crime Victim's Leave, Bereavement Leave, Domestic Violence Leave, Military Leave) and reach out to your DPI Supervisor or the HR department.
If your time off request is denied (and it is not a protected leave or other exigent situation) and you choose to take the time regardless, it will be addressed with escalated disciplinary action up to and including termation.
*Certain employees have 'sick time' based on the state their employed in and/or the nature of the customer they work for.
