Important things to know about Paid Time Off (PTO)
It’s a good idea to keep an eye on your PTO balance throughout the year so that you don’t lose any hours.
PTO Maximum
Once you reach your PTO maximum (350 hours), you will not accrue any additional PTO hours. It’s important to watch your PTO balance so that you don’t lose your accrual, and to work with your manager to schedule time off as needed.
