\"\"Paid time off<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0personal time off<\/strong>\u00a0(PTO<\/strong>) is a policy in some\u00a0employee handbooks\u00a0that provides a bank of hours in which the employer pools sick days, vacation days, and personal days that allows employees to use as the need or desire arises. This policy pertains mainly to the United States, where there are no federal\u00a0legal requirements for a minimum number of paid vacation days\u00a0(see also the\u00a0list of statutory minimum employment leave by country). Instead, U.S. companies determine the amount of paid time off that will be allotted to employees, while keeping in mind the payoff in\u00a0recruiting\u00a0and retaining employees. In the United States, paid vacation is typically two weeks or less per year for the first few years of employment in addition to roughly\u00a010 paid federal holidays.<\/p>\n

Generally PTO hours cover everything from planned\u00a0vacations\u00a0to\u00a0sick days, and are becoming more prevalent in the field of\u00a0human resource management. Unlike more traditional leave plans, PTO plans don’t distinguish employee absences from personal days, vacation days, or sick days. Upon employment, the company determines how many PTO hours will be allotted per year and a “rollover” policy. Some companies let PTO hours accumulate for only a year, and unused hours disappear at year-end. Some PTO plans may also accommodate unexpected or unforeseeable circumstances such as\u00a0jury duty,\u00a0military duty, and\u00a0bereavement\u00a0leave. \u00a0PTO bank plans typically do not include short-term or long-term\u00a0disability leave,\u00a0workers compensation,\u00a0family and medical leave,\u00a0sabbatical, or\u00a0community service\u00a0leave.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
