CHISLHB recognizes that employees may need time away from work for rest and relaxation, to handle personal business, holidays, for health reasons or for the care of a seriously ill dependent. Regular full-time and part-time employees begin accruing PTO upon hire. Benefits are earned after a 90-day eligibility period, however, you may borrow PTO during this time for recognized holidays. Full-time employees can accrue up to 22 days within their first year of employment. Accrual rate increases with tenure with a maximum accrual of 40 days.
St. Luke's Health–Brazosport has established an Extended Sick Leave (ESL) benefits program which provides team members with days off with pay in the event of a long-term illness, injury or medical condition. Accruals are based on worked hours during any pay period, which are regular hours, overtime hours, jury duty or bereavement.
