How does approved time off work?

Your approved time off will be indicated at the bottom of the first page of your contract.

A quick note on time off and compensation:

  1. Approved time off is unpaid. Sick time cannot be applied to personal or approved time off.

  2. Stipends are tied to shifts worked. This means you won’t receive stipend pay for any contracted shifts you don’t work—including approved days off.

How do I log my approved time off into Trusted mobile app?

  • If you were off for only part of the week, please include that detail in the Additional Notes field when submitting your weekly timecard.

  • If you were off for the entire work week as approved in your contract, you do not need to submit a timecard for that week.

How do I cancel approved time off?

Planning to work during previously approved time off? Let your Care Team know as soon as possible so we can remove those days from your contract. If you work during approved time off without updating your contract, Trusted won’t be able to pay you for that time. Be sure to reach out as soon as your availability changes!

In order to be paid for the time you work during your approved time off, we'll need a 72-hour notice and either:

  1. A written note from your facility manager acknowledging your availability/cancellation of approved time off, or

  2. Proof that you've been added to the schedule for days that were previously approved for time off.

Please reach out to your Care Team by sending a message through Inbox to get this process started.

What about paid time off (PTO)?

We don't have PTO at Trusted, but you may be referring to your sick time! You are entitled to sick leave for illness, injury, or to receive medical care, or for any other reason permitted by applicable law. This includes, but is not limited to, routine medical and dental appointments, for yourself, your child, parent, spouse, registered domestic partner, your spouse's or registered domestic partner’s child, or other persons designated by federal, state, and local laws, when such person is ill or injured, or receiving medical care.
