NuAxis PTO Policy

Employees should be aware that if they don’t use their PTO above 140 hours, anything above 140 hours will be lost on January 1st, 2025.


NuAxis Innovations believes that employees should have opportunities to enjoy time away from work to help balance their lives. For this reason, we provide a program of Paid Time Off (PTO) to all full-time employees. PTO is a time-off-with-pay program to provide employees with the freedom to decide how to use their personal time off.


NuAxis Innovations believes this program offers more liberal time off with pay, than traditional vacation, sick, and personal time packages.


For 3 days or more of consecutive PTO used as Sick Leave, company may require a doctor / hospital note on return.


Employees can use their PTO days in a number of different ways, for example: As vacation For personal business For periods of illness For doctor or dental appointments For personal emergencies For family emergencies


In the event of inclement weather/driving conditions. PTO does not replace the company holiday schedule; NuAxis will continue to have compensated holidays each year.

NuAxis Inclement Weather Policy

  • If you are a non-exempt employee, you may make up the lost time (full or partial day) during the work week in which the time was lost or you may charge the time to Paid Time Off (PTO). 



  • If you are an exempt employee, you may make up the lost time (full day) during the pay period in which the time was lost or you may charge the time to PTO. An exempt employee who is absent a partial day will be paid his or her regular salary for the day.​

Deep Belly Breathing


Today's mindfulness practice, Deep Belly Breathing also known as diaphragmatic breathing is a simple yet powerful technique with numerous benefits. It activates the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation and reducing stress while improving oxygen supply to the body, which boosts energy levels and brain function. Regular practice can help lower blood pressure, calm the heart rate, and enhance focus and mindfulness. Additionally, it supports better posture by engaging the diaphragm and alleviating tension in the chest and shoulders, contributing to overall physical and mental well-being.
