[quote=moneymaker]I get 5 or 6 six weeks a year which I believe is generous, my gripe with my PTO system at work is you only get 5 sick days a year, after that you are generating occurences, after 3 occurences you can in theory be fired, though I don’t know of anybody that was. The problem with this system is you get sick people coming in to work because they have used their allotted sick time already. They also don’t allow any carry over from year to year which everybody else I know is allowed to do up to a certain amount usually like 240 hours or so.[/quote]
I thought the whole point of PTO is it can be used for anything… sickness, religious holidays, etc. You have separate pools for both?
We technically have a sick day pool we’re supposed to use first just because it doesn’t carry over from YTY like PTO does, but once that’s gone I use my PTO for sick days.
