I worked through a recruiting company for my current job and was offer 18$ an hour but the recruiter tried to offer me a second deal where I could get 3 pto days and take 17$ an hour he claimed the math was all the same but I told him I didnt think it was and would be taking the higher rate, I was looking at my pay check and noticed i had PTO on it and when i submitted a time card with pto i was paid the PTO so apparently he was lying and I got PTO anyways he just wanted me to make a 1$ less an hour
