Frequently Asked Questions
How is PTO typically accrued?
PTO is usually accrued based on hours worked or on a per-pay-period basis. The rate of accrual varies by company policy and often increases with years of service.
What's the difference between PTO and vacation time?
PTO typically combines vacation, sick time, and personal days into one bank of time off. Traditional vacation time is specifically for planned leisure time away from work.
Do unused PTO hours roll over?
Rollover policies vary by company. Some allow full rollover, others cap the amount, and some require use of PTO within the calendar year ("use it or lose it" policy).
