2021 Paid Time Bank (PTB) Cash-In

LG Health offers employees the opportunity to “cash in” up to 80 hours in May and/or November of unused but accrued 2021 hours.

The time frame to elect a 2021 Cash-In is December 7-18, 2020. Employees must elect during this time, or they will not be eligible for the 2020 calendar year and cash in will not be processed.

Elections cannot be added, changed or cancelled.

What You Need To Know For 2021

• Employees may elect to cash in a maximum of 80 PTB hours for each payout date (a total of 160 hours in calendar year 2021).
• New IRS guidelines require that employees only cash in PTB hours accrued in the year which they are paid. Hours accrued in calendar year 2020 will not be available for cash in.
• In the event an employee elects to cash in PTB hours in 2021, but does not have the accrued hours at the time of payment (May 21 or Nov. 19), the cash in will only occur for the number of hours remaining that are available for cash-in payment.

Cash-In elections will be paid on the following dates: May 21 and November 19, 2021.
