PTO Rollover

PTO rollover refers to the practice where unused paid time off (PTO) or vacation time from one year carries over to the following year, allowing employees to use it at a later time.

Example #1

For example, if an employee has 10 days of PTO in a year and only uses 7, the remaining 3 days can be carried over to the next year for use.

Example #2

Another example would be if an employee accrues 15 vacation days in a year but only uses 10, the remaining 5 days can be rolled over to the next year.

Misuse

Misuse of PTO rollover could occur if an employer fails to allow employees to carry over their unused PTO days, effectively causing them to lose their accrued time off. This can be concerning for employees who may rely on accumulated PTO for planned vacations, personal time, or unexpected illness.

Benefits

One of the key benefits of PTO rollover is that it provides employees with flexibility and the ability to plan their time off effectively. It allows employees to accumulate paid time off for future use, promoting work-life balance and employee well-being.

Conclusion

PTO rollover is an important aspect of employee benefits and can contribute to a positive work environment by offering flexibility and supporting employee wellness. Ensuring that employees have the opportunity to carry over unused PTO aligns with CAP's mission of empowering employees and promoting fairness in the workplace.
