Paid Time Off (PTO)

Vacation, Sick Pay, Personal Days

Paid Time Off (PTO) is available for relaxation, illness, or to attend to personal needs — giving you more choice on how you use your time. Team Members begin earning PTO on their start date; however, cannot use PTO until they have completed their Introductory Period. Full PTO time is only available to full-time Team Members who work an average of 30 hours a week or more.

Regular part-time team members that work a minimum of 20 hours per week and have successfully completed the probationary period are eligible for one half the PTO benefits of a full-time team member.

PTO is Granted at the Following Rate:

Year One

Granted on January 1st after year of hire

Granted on January 1st after 1 and 2 years of service

Granted on January 1st after 3 years of service

Granted on January 1st after 4-8 years of service

Granted on January 1st after 9 or more years of service

½ day per month earned beginning the date of hire (total of up to 6 days to be used prior to December 31 of year in which hired). Earned PTO can be used after successful completion of 60 days

8 days /64 hours

10 days /80 hours

12 days /96 hours

15 days /120 hours

20 days /160 hours

PTO is not a vested benefit, which means it is available for use only while employed by MarineMax. PTO is not paid upon termination unless required by state or local law. PTO must be used during the calendar year or it is forfeited, unless state or local law mandates otherwise. PTO must be used for any leave or absence prior to a Team Member requesting unpaid leave.

PTO must be approved by your manager and when possible, requested at least two weeks in advance. Team Members must request PTO through UKG (formerly UltiPro). Keep in mind that if you use PTO that has not been scheduled in advance, you harm the operations of your department because your manager has not had time to make the necessary arrangements needed to cover your position. Our business can be highly seasonal; thus your PTO requests should be consistent with our business cycle. Additionally, due to seasonable demands, some MarineMax locations do not permit scheduled PTO during peak times. MarineMax can reject a Team Member’s request for PTO in its sole and absolute discretion.

An unscheduled absence must be reported to your manager as soon as you realize you will not be coming to work. Absences must be reported within one hour of your scheduled starting time. Failure to report an absence within these guidelines may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination.

MarineMax is also pleased to provide paid time for holidays, funeral attendance, jury duty, and military leave. Team Members who have completed their 60-day Introductory Period and work an average of 30 hours per week or more are eligible for these benefits.

Regular part-time team members are eligible for holiday at the rate of one half the amount provided to full-time team members, once they have successfully completed their 60-day Probationary Period Providing they work a minimum of 20 hours per week.

Funeral Pay

In the event of a death in your family, you are given leave appropriate for the circumstances. For extended family (including aunts, uncles, and cousins) and non-relatives, PTO may be used. For immediate family members, up to three days outside of the PTO program will be granted. These three days must be consecutive and one day must be the day of the funeral. The immediate family is defined as your or your spouse’s:

• Child, sibling or, spouse

• Parent, stepparent, or legal guardian

• Grandchild or grandparent

Holidays

MarineMax provides seven paid holidays per year. These dates vary based on region and/or location, so please check with your manager for your location’s holiday schedule.

For those Team Members who work on a Company-provided holiday, you will be paid straight time and will have the opportunity to take a day off with pay in the future, or dependent upon your location or region’s needs, you may be paid for the holiday in addition to the straight time earned. Team Members who have an unscheduled absence the day before or the day after a holiday will not be paid for the holiday.

Jury Duty

Team Members are to notify their manager promptly both upon receipt of a jury summons and upon subsequent notice of selection to serve as a juror. Team Members required to provide this civil service will receive their regular rate of pay for normal hours worked, for the actual time in the courtroom or in deliberations, up to a maximum of eight (8) hours per day, a maximum of forty (40) hours per week, and a maximum of two (2) weeks for this occasion of absence, provided the Team Member submits evidence of the summons, selection notice, and verification of time in the courtroom or in deliberations to the Team Member’s manager.

Paid absences for jury duty must be noted on the Team Member’s time sheet, if applicable, by the manager for each pay period in which this form of absence occurs.

Team Members who are required to be in court or any other legal setting for any reason other than jury duty must use Paid Time Off or request time off without pay if no PTO is available.

Voting Time

Most polling places are open both before and after working hours. It should not be necessary to miss work in order to vote. In the event that missing work is necessary, you may use PTO, or you may receive compensation depending on your state’s laws. In some cases, you may be able to make up the missed time. See your manager if you wish to explore this option.
