PTO + VACATION POLICIES
We know you love to work, but we also know it's important to enjoy your personal time! We offer options for paid time off for all levels of employees. As you progress further within your career, you may be eligible for additional paid time off based on your tenure and position in the restaurants.
​
Scroll through this page for more information. Remember, all PTO and Vacation time must be approved in advance by a General Manager or Supervisor.
PAID TIME OFF (PTO)
From your first day of employment, you start accruing Paid Time Off. You will earn 1 (one) hour of Paid Time Off for every 100 (one hundred) hours worked. Each year on or around January 1, you will receive your PTO accrual statement. PTO earnings for the year end of December 31. PTO does not carry over from year to year and is paid out at the end of the year if it is not used. Terminating your employment results in losing any PTO and other benefits that you were eligible for.
For example, if you begin working for the company on July 1, 2022, and work 30 hours per week, you will accumulate 8.1 hours of PTO to be used starting January 1, 2023.
​
Salaried managers do not accrue hourly PTO. Instead, salaried managers receive 5 days of PTO at the beginning of the year to use as needed in addition to vacation time.
​
All PTO must be used by December 15.
