Paid Time Off

Paid Time Off (PTO) is a policy that allows employees to take time off from work with pay. This can include vacation days, sick leave, or personal days. Companies provide PTO to promote employee well-being and work-life balance, enabling workers to rest or address personal matters without losing income. Employees typically earn PTO based on their length of service or hours worked. The terms of PTO, including how much time can be accrued and carried over, vary by employer, but the overall aim is to support employees’ health and productivity.
