A brief description of the institution’s program to support employee volunteering:

Gustavus encourages employees to become involved in their communities, lending their voluntary support to programs that positively impact the quality of life within these communities.
All full-time, benefit eligible employees may receive up to one day of paid time off in each fiscal year (prorated based upon FTE) to perform volunteer services through non-profit organizations. This is an addition to, and not charged to, an employee's PTO/vacation balance. Volunteer Time Off may be taken in full or halfday increments (but not less) during regular scheduled work hours with advance notice to and approval by the employee's supervisor. Volunteer Time Off must be used in the fiscal year in which it is granted. If the time is not used, it is not paid out at termination of employment and unused time may not be carried over into the next fiscal year.
