ITU AbsorbTech Employee Handbook

508 Sick Time Off – Hourly Employees Sick time is not intended for an occasional day off, personal day, or vacation time off. Sick time payments are designed for security income, when you otherwise may not have any income because of your illness. Sick leave is paid at the employee hourly or the alt/vacation rate for Service and Sales Representatives. Sick Leave Pay Application Examples: • If you are scheduled to work 10 hours; (1) sick day would equal 8.75 hours of pay • If you are scheduled to work 8 hours; (1) sick day would equal 7 hours of pay. • If you are scheduled to work 6 hours; (1) sick day would equal 5.25 hours of pay. • If you are scheduled to work 4 hours; (1) sick day would equal 3.5 hours of pay. New hires earn sick days at a rate of 1 per month; beginning with the 1st of the month after completing 60 days of employment. From their second year with ITU AbsorbTech on, employees earn 12 sick days per year and may accumulate a maximum of 24 days. Unused sick time is not paid out upon termination of employment. The absence during any period of illness or injury will not be compensated unless it requires you to be confined to a hospital on the 1st day of absence. ITU AbsorbTech reserves the right to require you to present medical certification to verify eligibility for sick pay. 509

Vacation Pay

Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) of 1993 entitles eligible employees to take unpaid, job-protected leave for specified family and medical reasons. For more details regarding the company’s FMLA policy, please see Appendix A01, or contact Human Resources. 506 Personal Days Employees are eligible for two (2) paid personal days per year beginning on the January 1st immediately following their initial date of employment. Personal time may be taken in increments of one half-day or one full-day; but in all cases, must be pre-scheduled and pre-approved by the employee’s immediate supervisor through the time management system and dependent upon staffing requirements. Unused personal days are not paid at separation of employment and may not be carried over from one year to the next. 507 Scheduled Days Off – Hourly Employees Scheduled days off must be arranged with at least one day’s notice. “Calling in” on a scheduled day of work is an infraction against Attendance and Punctuality Policy 501. Managers should record absences in the time and attendance system. If a manager feels there are special circumstances, they may contact HR to discuss the application of the policy.

Paid vacations are earned according to the following schedule:

• Hire date to December 31 = 1 day paid vacation for each full calendar quarter worked • January 1 of first full calendar year of employement = 2 weeks of paid vacation • January 1 of third full calendar year of employement = 2 weeks + 2 days of paid vacation • January 1 of fourth full calendar year of employement = 3 weeks of paid vacation • January 1 of seventh full calendar year of employement = 3 weeks + 2 days of paid vacation • January 1 of tenth full calendar year of employement = 4 weeks of paid vacation The vacation year is from January 1 to December 31. Vacation days may be used at any time during the calendar year in which it is provided, subject to any scheduling limitations. As such, vacation days do not carryover from year to year. Although vacation days are earned throughout the calendar year, employees are advanced their full allotment on January

1st of each year. Earned, but unused vacations days will be paid-out upon employment termination.
