Frequently asked
How is PTO accrual calculated?⌄
Annual PTO ÷ accrual periods × periods elapsed. For per-hour-worked policies, we use annual PTO ÷ 2,080 standard work hours × hours worked YTD.
What's a typical PTO policy?⌄
US employers commonly grant 10–15 days (80–120 hours) per year for new hires, increasing with tenure. Many cap accrual at 1.5×–2× the annual allowance.
