How does your PTO/vaction time work?
Our personnel manual was just recently updated and I was forced to read it. Good thing I did though, because I found out that even though I technically get 10 days of paid vacation time off, it's pro-rated for how many more months in the year are left. So Sept was my 6 mo, leaving 3 mo left = 20 hrs. Boo!
They do start over in Jan though. I'm glad I found out now so I can rearrange our travel plans. So we're switching our Christmas vacation to a week later to use up the 2 1/2 days at the end of Dec, then using 5 days the first week in Jan.
I've never experienced this before. Most places I've worked (banks really) give you PTO after a month, and there's nothing pro-rated really, unless you end up leaving before you've earned it and used it - then you pay some back.
So what's the norm?
Re: How does your PTO/vaction time work?
i accumulate time off based on hours worked. so if i have 10 days off per year... i can't take them all in jan bc i haven't earned the time off yet. does that make sense? we can carry over up to 5 days of vacation to the next year. and i think sick days just keep accumulating. note, i'm hourly.
dh gets three weeks/year. he can use them all in january if he wants to, but i'm not sure if he'd have to pay money back if he were to leave. i doubt it. he's salary. (and works somewhere else).
I get 3 weeks of PTO/yr, and they do accrue over time. I don't loose them; they carry over year to year. I think I have like 68 hours now.
Mine is accrued, a certain amount per pay period, starting the day you started. It's like 8 hours per two weeks, or something like that. We also get a floating holiday = free day off.
Most of my PTO will carry over from year to year, except the floating holiday, and there is a cap. If we have enough accrued to lose some, we can sell it back. I'm not to that point yet.
I get 5 hours every pay cycle; so every 2 weeks. 10/month
I basically get I think 3 weeks a year; but it carries over. I have 45 accrued as of tomorrow, and will have 65 by Dec 31. So assuming I only take let's say 4 off, 33 hours will carry over still, thus having me with almost 4 weeks.
