Common Questions About PTO

Paid Time Off (PTO) is a policy that combines vacation, sick leave, and personal days into a single bank of days or hours that employees can use for various purposes. It offers flexibility, allowing employees to manage their time off as needed.

PTO accrual varies by company. Common methods include accruing a set number of hours per pay period, a fixed number of days per month, or receiving a lump sum at the beginning of the year. Policies also differ based on employment status (full-time, part-time) and years of service.

Many companies allow employees to carry over a certain amount of unused PTO to the next year, but there is often a cap on how many hours or days can be carried over. It's important to check your specific company's policy regarding PTO carryover.

While often used interchangeably, PTO is a broader term. Vacation time typically refers specifically to planned time off for leisure. PTO combines vacation with sick days and personal days into one pool, giving employees more flexibility in how they use their paid leave.
