'''Paid time off''' or '''personal time off''' ('''PTO''') is a policy in some [[employee handbook]]s that provides a bank of hours in which the employer pools sick days, vacation days, and personal days that allows employees to use as the need or desire arises. This policy pertains mainly to the United States, where there are no federal [[annual leave|legal requirements for a minimum number of paid vacation days]] (see also the [[list of statutory minimum employment leave by country]]). Instead, U.S. companies determine the amount of paid time off that will be allotted to employees, while keeping in mind the payoff in [[Recruitment|recruiting]] and retaining employees.

It is unclear as to when PTO bank-type plans were first being utilized in the workforce. In a 2010 study conducted by WorldatWork, 44% of 387 companies surveyed said they started using PTO bank-type plans prior to year 2000.<ref name="WorldatWork" />

Since 2020, usage of PTO has declined.

In France, first paid leave - no salary deduction under 15 days per year - is introduced for civil servants, only, in 1854.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Bineau |first=Jean-Martial |last2=Bonaparte |first2=Louis-Napoléon |date=1853 |title=Décret impérial réglant l'exécution de la loi du 9 juin 1853 sur les pensions civiles (9 novembre 1853). |url=https://education.persee.fr/doc/baip_1254-0714_1853_num_4_47_10232 |journal=Bulletin administratif de l'instruction publique |volume=4 |issue=47 |pages=567–581}}</ref>
==Benefits==


{{Prose|date=July 2020}}
* PTO can be an attractive benefit for healthy employees because they are offered more vacation time under a PTO plan than they would be under a plan that differentiates [[sick leave]] and vacation.
* Theoretically, the employee will be honest in scheduling PTO in advance, allowing the company to plan around the absence, rather than "calling in sick" at the last minute.
* PTO is usually attractive to younger workers, who tend to rate [[Work Life Balance|work-life balance]] as an important source of [[job satisfaction]].
* The flexibility of PTO plans aligns with the current trend in the United States of having more frequent but shorter vacations.<ref name="MoneyHowStuffWorks" />
* Tracking PTO is less onerous for management and employee than tracking personal, sick and vacation days.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Thompson|first1=Melissa|title=How Entrepreneurs Can Attract And Retain Talented Millennials Who Prioritize Health|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/melissathompson/2017/02/20/healthy-ways-entrepreneurs-can-attract-top-millennial-talent/|accessdate=22 February 2017|work=Forbes}}</ref>
* Employees who give adequate two weeks' notice before retirement or resignation may be paid for all unused, accrued PTO.<ref name="MoneyHowStuffWorks" />

==Disadvantages==

* At first glance, PTO may not be attractive for employers due to little direct advantage. This is because the employer pays the employee for time spent not working; thus, receiving nothing in return for the expense.
* Employees may tend to miss work more frequently, which can be seen as a drawback for the employers and lead to [[absenteeism]]. This can be offset by the employer establishing acceptable and unacceptable standards of unscheduled PTO (call-offs).
* Employees may decide to work despite illness, whether it be because they are saving for a vacation and would not like to use any accrued PTO until then, or because they have returned from using nearly all PTO accrued and have fallen ill.
* If PTO hours go unused, employees may sometimes call in sick near the end of the year so they can obtain the benefit of paid leave before it disappears. Employers may counter this tendency by paying employees for some or all of their unused days at year-end or upon [[retirement]] or [[resignation]].<ref name="MoneyHowStuffWorks" />
* Employers in the United States need to be aware of their state labor law regarding paid time off. If not, the policy might not be legally enforceable.

Recent information may indicate that PTO bank-type plans are difficult to implement in very large organizations. In 2010, only 32% of organizations with 20,000+ employees had a PTO bank-type system.

As of 2012, nearly one in five employees in the United States receive leave in the form of a PTO bank plan, but the contours of such policies are often little understood—especially outside of the human resources community.

Because there are no federal requirements in the United States, the states must each determine respective regulations for paid time off in the state [[labor law]]. Because of this, employers not only need to be aware, but also need to establish and follow a formal written policy for paid time off. Failing to formally establish paid time off policies may result in violating the state's code and the policy not being legally enforceable.

There is no Pennsylvania labor law which requires an employer to pay an employee not to work. Benefits like sick leave, vacation pay, and severance pay are payments to an employee not to be at work. Therefore, an employer only has to pay these benefits if the employer has a policy to pay such benefits or a contract with you to pay these benefits. An employer must follow its own rules for these kinds of payments.

Paid time off, planned time off, or personal time off (PTO), is a policy in some employee handbooks that provides a bank of hours in which the employer pools sick days, vacation days, and personal days that allows employees to use as the need or desire arises. This policy pertains mainly to the United States, where there are no federal legal requirements for a minimum number of paid vacation days (see also the list of statutory minimum employment leave by country). Instead, U.S. companies determine the amount of paid time off that will be allotted to employees, while keeping in mind the payoff in recruiting and retaining employees.

Generally, PTO hours cover everything from planned vacations to sick days, and are becoming more prevalent in the field of human resource management. Unlike more traditional leave plans, PTO plans don't distinguish employee absences from personal days, vacation days, or sick days. Upon employment, the company determines how many PTO hours will be allotted per year and a "rollover" policy. Some companies let PTO hours accumulate for only a year, and unused hours disappear at year-end.[1] Some PTO plans may also accommodate unexpected or unforeseeable circumstances such as jury duty, military service, and bereavement leave.[2] PTO bank plans typically do not include short-term or long-term disability leave, workers compensation, family and medical leave, sabbatical, or community service leave.[3]

It is unclear as to when PTO bank-type plans were first being utilized in the workforce. In a 2010 study conducted by WorldatWork, 44% of 387 companies surveyed said they started using PTO bank-type plans prior to year 2000.[4]

Since 2020, usage of PTO has declined.

History

[edit]

An early instance of paid time off, in the late 19th century in Australia, was by Alfred Edments who gave every employee a fortnight's holiday on full pay, and when ill, Edments continued to pay their salaries.[5]

In France, first paid leave - no salary deduction under 15 days per year - is introduced for civil servants, only, in 1854.[6]

[edit]

A longitudinal study conducted by World at Work of over 1,000 organizations of different sizes concluded that over recent years, PTO plans have become more actively utilized by the general workforce. In 2002, about 71% of organizations were using traditional distinguished paid time off system, and about 28% were utilizing the PTO bank-type system. As of 2010, the use of the traditional paid time off system decreased to 54%, while the use of the PTO bank system increased to around 40% of all organizations.

Recent information may indicate that PTO bank-type plans are difficult to implement in very large organizations. In 2010, only 32% of organizations with 20,000+ employees had a PTO bank-type system. However, 51% of organizations with 10,000-19,999 employees had PTO bank-type plans. In organizations with less than 100 employees, 48% had PTO bank-type plans.[4]

In the 2010 study performed by World at Work, industrial differences were also found. 97% of organizations in the Education industry use traditional paid time off plans with only 3% utilizing a PTO bank-type system. On the other hand, 80% of organizations in the Health-care and Social Assistance industry utilize PTO bank-type systems.[4]

As of 2012, nearly one in five employees in the United States receive leave in the form of a PTO bank plan, but the contours of such policies are often little understood—especially outside of the human resources community.

Among employees with paid leave, lower-wage employees are less likely to have access to a PTO bank than a traditional paid vacation system. 51% of employees in the lowest average wage quartile have access to any vacation time, and only 9 percent of the lowest wage employees have access to a PTO bank. 89% of employees in the highest wage quartile have access to vacation time and 28% have access to a PTO bank.

There is also a difference in PTO among employment status. 9% of Part-time employees have access to a PTO bank, whereas about 23% of full-time employees do.

14% of unionized organizations have access to PTO bank-type plans.[3]

Length of service

[edit]

Paid time off usually increases with years of service to an organization. This provides a greater benefit for employees who have been with the organization longer.

Roughly twelve states, including Washington DC currently have legislation in place for regulating paid sick leave. Nevada and Maine, which both passed laws in 2019, have the only policies saying that state-mandated PTO can be used for things other than illness.

Because there are no federal requirements in the United States, the states must each determine respective regulations for paid time off in the state labor law. Because of this, employers not only need to be aware, but also need to establish and follow a formal written policy for paid time off. Failing to formally establish paid time off policies may result in violating the state's code and the policy not being legally enforceable.

The law took effect on April 1 and applies to all workers at businesses with five or more employees, encompassing those excluded under the previous legislation that applied to businesses with 15 or more workers.[9]

Germany

[edit]

Federal laws strictly differentiate between PTO for vacation purposes and PTO for health purposes. German law mandates 20 days per year of PTO for vacation purposes for a full-time employee working five days a week and 24 days per year when working a six-day week.[10] Many employers decide to provide additional vacation PTO. The mean vacation days per employee in Germany in 2023 was 31,0 days.[11]

PTO for health issues is unlimited. The first six weeks of sickness leave are paid in full by the employer. For longer absences, the health insurance pays sick pay up to 90 % of the current net salary.
