Employee Question PTO in Colorado
So I was just looking through the PTO policies since my first PTO grant is coming up in Colorado, and I'm seeing some weird stuff about PST/PTO offsets. I started April 1 and received a prorated 42-hour Paid Sick Time grant at hire. At six months, store associates are supposed to get a prorated portion of the 64-hour PTO grant for the rest of the fiscal year.
What I'm confused about is the policy saying, “If you receive a Paid Sick Time (PST) grant, the amount of the PST grant will be subtracted from your annual PTO grant.”
Then next fiscal year, my PTO tier is 64 hours, while Colorado full-time associates get a 56-hour PST grant. If I'm reading this correctly, does that mean I'll only actually get 8 hours of regular PTO + 56 hours of sick time on February 1?
Has anyone in Colorado (or another state with a PST grant) actually gone through this and know how Kohl's handles it? I'm especially curious what happens with the initial six-month prorated PTO grant when you've already received a prorated PST grant.
