Paid Time off Policies

Paid Time Off (PTO) policies allow employees to take time off work while still receiving their regular pay. This time off can be used for various reasons, such as vacations, personal matters, or illness. Employers typically offer a set amount of PTO, which can accrue over time based on hours worked or can be granted in a lump sum annually. These policies aim to support employee well-being by encouraging work-life balance, reducing burnout, and promoting overall job satisfaction. It's important for employees to understand their company's specific terms regarding accrual, usage, and any carryover policies.
