Paid Time Off Programs

[Guest Sandi Fagan]

I work for a small government relations firm in Washington, DC. We are looking into changing from a traditional vacation and sick leave accrual policy to a Paid Time Off policy. I have never worked for an organization where a PTO plan was used and could really used some assistance and direction on where to begin. I'm looking for HR professionals who are willing to share copies of their PTO policies (you can forward to my e-mail address listed above.) In addition, any input or feedback on what to do and not to do would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Sandi

Sandi:

If you change the "Look Back" section of the Miscellaneous Benefits area to "Topics from the past year", and do some browsing, you'll find several discussions about PTO and vacation pay issues.

Good Luck!!!
