HR December Newsletter--NEW PTO Policy

All J.B. Hunt employees will now be able to enjoy the benefits of a completely revamped paid-time-off policy. More commonly referred to simply as PTO, the new PTO policy provides you and all of our employees more flexibility and choices in how you use your time off – time for vacation, illness, or anything else.

The new policy has replaced all existing time off, including vacation, floating holidays, PTO – Weekly, paid sick leave policies, and others.

What happens if I still have accrued and unused time off under the old policies?

• Workday will continue to reflect any available, unused time off you have remaining under the old categories (vacation, floating holiday, PTO – Weekly, paid sick leave, discretionary). The only old time-off policy category that will be renamed is PTO – Weekly, which will be renamed Former Paid Time Off Plan.
• When taking time off, request time off from the old categories first.
• Time off reflected in vacation, floating holiday, or paid sick leave categories will expire on your anniversary date.
• Time off reflected in Former Paid Time Off Plan will expire on November 30, 2017.
• Remember to use all of your unused time off under the old categories first!
