Use Your 2024 DEI Personal Day
As you’re planning your summer vacation, remember that eligible employees may use their 2024 DEI Personal Day hours to celebrate days that are special to them or other members of their faith, race, nationality or anything else that makes them unique. There are no restrictions on what you can use it for. Note that unlike standard PTO, the hours do not roll over to the next year, so don’t forget to use your personal day before the last day of the final pay period, which is Dec. 14, 2024. Just as with any other time off request, employees need to request and be approved for the time off. If you do not have department guidelines for requesting PTO, the PTO policy, HR25, requires one week’s advance notice.
We would love to see how you spend your DEI Personal Day this year so we can share with your colleagues in upcoming editions of the DEI Corner. Please forward photos of you enjoying your DEI Personal Day to theofficeofdei@houstonmethodist.org.
