Just got an email from HR stating all employees will now accrue paid time off instead of getting all of that time in advance at the first of the year. Employees cannot carry a negative PTO balance.
We now get, approximately, 1 day of vacation per month accrued every month and 5 sick days in advance at the first of the year.
This means if you book a $6,000 international vacation for 10 business days in the month of January your only option is to use all 5 sick days and your 1 accrued vacation days. You’re 4 days short of what you had planned. You must cancel/revise your vacation plans.
Additionally, if you happen to get sick, COVID perhaps, you’re completely out of sick days and only get the 1 vacation day per month. Guess I’ll have to go to work sick.
Putting in two weeks notice at the end of January.
