PTO Sharing program allows associates to share their PTO with other Advocate associates by donating to the PTO Sharing fund or to request PTO from the PTO Sharing fund when they are in need of PTO for unexpected medical or personal emergency (see PTO Sharing Policy)

Eligible associates are Full-time, Part-time A and B associates who have a medical or personal emergency that will require them to miss work and have exhausted their PTO balance. Any associate who has exhausted or is about to exhaust (has 12 hours or less in their PTO bank at time of request) may make a request for additional PTO by going to Advocate Human Resources Online (HR Direct), click on “MySelfService” pages and under “Benefits Information” select Request PTO Sharing/Donation. For any assistance in processing call HR Direct.

Advocate provides its associates with the opportunity to demonstrate their compassion for fellow associates by donating their PTO to assist other associates who have exhausted their PTO benefits. Hours cannot be donated to another individual directly. They are placed in the donation account for everyone to access. If you wish to donate hours go to Advocate Human Resources Online (HR Direct), click on “MySelfService” pages and under “Benefits Information” select Request PTO Sharing/Donation. For any assistance in processing call HR Direct.
