As long as the employer has any say in, when the PTO is taken, they have a responsibility Period

How do you even imagine it? Can you force someone to take their PTO at any time? Or only when they will absolutely lose it? (End of year)

In my country you have to inform your employee, when their vacation days are about to expire and make measurable efforts to find a vaccination schedule that works for both of you. Or else they don't expire.

So a company will lose how many days at the end of each year trying to force their staff to take days off?

Or you know, you could talk to your employees and work out a schedule over the year, that works for both of you. If you, as a business, are unable to do basic management tasks, then yes you run into the situation, where you are functionally unable to do business at the end of the year.

They have a responsibility to let you know, yes. And they have to actually let you take it. Beyond that should be personal responsibility.

Here are my expectations and how I normally experience pto policy at work.

  • HR has in writing company PTO policy. When and how to apply, how many per year, rollover policy.
  • HR provides friendly reminders in email to use it or lose it and the deadline is coming up.
  • HR provides a decent software system that tracks your PTO balance and history and is easy enough to use to request time off
  • HR reminds managers to approve PTO unless there is some issue in which case HR should help handle

If a company does the above then the employee has no one to blame if their days are lost.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
