Are PTO Plans Right for Your Organization?

Consolidated paid time off (PTO) plans, or PTO banks, give employees
flexibility in using their paid leave and are generally easy to implement.
Use the guidelines below to determine if a PTO plan is right for your
organization.
What happens under your vacation or sick leave policy if an employee
needs to stay home with a sick child? Or, what do you do if an employee
wants to take two days off to attend a nonwork-related seminar?

Under a traditional policy that separates vacation and sick days,

using their vacation allowance. With a paid time off (PTO) bank, you can
give employees a set number of paid days a year and then let them
choose how the days will be used.
