PTO, LTL & Your Options

During the furlough period, any medical and dental benefits you are enrolled in will continue.  Peak Vista will cover both the employee and the employer cost of medical and dental premiums through April 30, 2020.  You will be responsible for the premiums for any Voluntary Insurance coverage you are enrolled in.

During the furlough period, you may choose to utilize your accrued PTO or take the furlough period as Unpaid Time.  If you choose to use your PTO, Unpaid Time would go into effect after the last PTO hour you have available.  If you do not have accrued PTO available or you choose not to utilize accrued PTO hours, you will go on Unpaid Time immediately.  Note:  PTO is the default in the payroll system.  If you would like to take Unpaid Time rather than your accrued PTO hours, you must notify your manager immediately.

You will not be eligible to use your LTL hours during this furlough period.

You are welcome to seek outside employment during this furlough period.  If you accept another position, please notify the HR Department at the number listed below.

During the furlough period, you may be eligible for unemployment compensation.  Please refer to the Colorado State Unemployment for specific details and provisions surrounding application, eligibility and collection of benefits.  To assist you in unemployment details, please log in to https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/cdle/file-claim.
