Some time off does not qualify as PTO, as paid time off is offered as a benefit in addition to the standard PTO

life event time off

Maternity and Paternity Leaves are granted at 60% of the employee’s salary, for 7 consecutive calendar days. On top of this week, mothers will be able to claim additional time-off, through the short term disability insurance offered at no cost to you. The 7 days of time off will start the day of delivery, and will stop the day LTD starts coverage.

Fathers, or employees adopting will be able to use this benefit any time within the year after delivery or effective adoption date.

Jury Duty Leave

The company regards Jury Duty as a citizenship obligation. Employees called for Jury Duty will be extended a leave of absence for the duration of the Jury Duty services. The employee must submit documentation of their call to Jury Duty within 7 calendar days of receiving the notice to serve. The employee is required to report for work on business days when s/he is released from Jury Duty temporarily. The employee is required to submit documentation certifying that s/he attended Jury Duty. This documentation must be supplied within 7 calendar days of returning to work. DMG will pay the employee the difference between their regular salary and their judicial compensation (excluding jury member travel allowance).

Military Leave

DMG complies with all applicable federal, state, and local laws relating to military leave. Employees must give as much advance notice as possible of service in the armed forces to preserve their military leave rights. Advance notice may not be required if it is precluded by military necessity

Bereavement Leave

When a death occurs in an employee’s immediate family, all regular full and part time employees may take up to two (2) days off with pay to attend the funeral or make funeral arrangements. The company may require verification of the need for the leave.

Immediate family members are defined as an employee’s spouse or partner, parents, stepparents, siblings, children, stepchildren, grandparent, father-in-law, mother-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, or grandchild.

The company understands the deep impact that death can have on an individual or a family, therefore additional non-paid time off may be granted. The employee may make arrangements with his or her supervisor for additional unpaid days off in the instance of the death of an immediate family member. Additional unpaid time off may be granted depending on the circumstances such as distance and the individual’s responsibility for funeral arrangements.
