Explanation

Human Resources Policy L-3, Paid Time Off Leave System (PTO), is amended to eliminate employee option hours awarded for electing PTO, update Policy reference, and clarify covered family members for whose care Personal Critical Leave may be taken.  This amendment also provides for changes mandated by Florida Statutes, eliminating for all Personal Critical Leave accrued after October 1, 2012, the conversion of such leave to service credit in determining pension benefits.
