MTSA encourages employees to become involved in their communities, lending their voluntary support to programs that positively impact the quality of life within these communities.
The following guidelines are for MTSA's employees who serve as volunteers in non-profit community programs that are either of personal interest or are corporate-sponsored initiatives.
Amount of Time
Employees are required to participate in 3 volunteer efforts per calendar year. Employees are allowed to take up to 5 hours of paid time off each month to participate in their specific volunteer program during normal MTSA work hours, Monday through Thursday, 8:00 am – 6:00 pm.
Volunteer time must be requested in advance to help with the coordination of other work-related responsibilities. Volunteer time should not conflict with the peak work schedule and other work-related responsibilities, create need for overtime, or cause conflicts with other employees' schedules.
Eligibility
All full-time employees are eligible.
Interested employees should have expected performance or above.
Interested employees should meet with their managers to discuss their volunteer choice, schedule, and to receive approval.
Recording VTO Time
All volunteer hours must be recorded on the Volunteer tab in BambooHR. To access this form, log into BambooHR, select “Volunteer" to fill out all required questions.
