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.
