Time Off (PTO) 

Paid Time Off (PTO) Policy

1. Advance Notice

   • Employees must submit time off requests at least 10 days prior to the desired time off.

2. Minimum PTO Balance Requirement

   • To request a day off, employees must have a minimum balance of 10 hours of PTO available at the time of the request.

3. Blackout Periods

   • Time off requests will not be approved during designated blackout periods, which include high-volume events such as:

     • Holidays

     • Amazon Promotional Events (Prime Weeks, Peak Season Nov-Jan)

     • Other Events (i.e. World Series, Superbowl, Parades, etc.)

   • Employees are expected to plan accordingly and schedule PTO outside of these periods.

4. Approval Confirmation

   • Time off is only considered approved when the request is confirmed in Paycom. It is the employee’s responsibility to verify the status of their PTO request in the system.

5. Exceptions

   • If an employee needs to request time off that does not meet the above requirements, they must contact Ryan Eccles at 816-785-5191 immediately to discuss potential exceptions. Not all exceptions can be granted. Failure to show up for a scheduled workday will lead to disciplinary action, up to and including termination.

This policy aims to ensure appropriate staffing levels during peak times and to facilitate planning and scheduling across teams.

We do not have an unpaid time off system. Therefore, anytime away from work during a regularly scheduled workday will require an approved Paid Time Off request.
