Paid Time Off - Benefits

Benefits

  • PTO can be an attractive benefit for healthy employees because they are offered more vacation time under a PTO plan than they would be under a plan that differentiates sick leave and vacation.
  • Theoretically, the employee will be honest in scheduling PTO in advance, allowing the company to plan around the absence, rather than "calling in sick" at the last minute.
  • PTO is usually attractive to younger workers, who tend to rate work-life balance as an important source of job satisfaction.
  • The flexibility of PTO plans aligns with the current trend in the United States of having more frequent but shorter vacations.
  • Employees who give adequate two weeks notice before retirement or resignation may be paid for all unused, accrued PTO.

Famous quotes containing the word benefits:

    “One of your biggest jobs as a parent of multiples is no bigger than simply talking to your children individually and requiring that they respond to you individually as well. The benefits of this kind of communication can be enormous, in terms of the relationship you develop with each child, in terms of their language development, and eventually in terms of their sense of individuality, too.”
    —Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)

    “Through all opposition the personal benefits of the reform [dress] [bracketed word in original] have compensated; but had it been mainly sacrifice, the thought of working for the amelioration of women and the elevation of humanity would still have been the beacon-star guiding me on amid all discouragements.”
    —Susan Pecker Fowler (1823–1911)

    “I do seriously believe that if we can measure among the States the benefits resulting from the preservation of the Union, the rebellious States have the larger share. It destroyed an institution that was their destruction. It opened the way for a commercial life that, if they will only embrace it and face the light, means to them a development that shall rival the best attainments of the greatest of our States.”
    —Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
