20--but that includes PTO and sick time.

Also, I work half day Fridays so it's easy to make up the time earlier in the week and take a 3 day weekend without having to use PTO

Our company just switched to self managed PTO with no hard limit.

Job I just left I was remote so if I left for a wedding or something I never told any one since I could handle whatever came up and would just use it when I went overseas.

New job gives (gave) 2 weeks on Jan. 1 but now they're going to an accrual method but the PTO is 18 days plus sick and all that jazz.

My wife is at a firm so they don't "do" vacation days.

I would bet some money that people take less time off under that system and hence why it is becoming a thing. In aggregate of course.

20 vacation days bankable to 50, 20 days paid holidays. 12 paid sick days bankable to 240.

25 plus 10 holidays

I also get 10 hours per month to volunteer on the clock and another 10 "healthy life" hours for fitness per month. If I volunteer 50 hours in a year I get an extra PTO day, 75 nets 2 days, and 100 tops out at 3 days.

Unfortunately I don't do the best job using them.

15 days accrued through the year that roll over. I can bank up to 200 hours, at which point HR starts pushing to use some. I've never heard a number on sick time. I just take off when I'm sick, which probably averages to about a day per year.

I agree. When I was hourly, I had no issue burning an hour or two of vacation to leave early. Now, I feel guilty leaving early when it costs me nothing.

15 vacation, 12 sick/personal that can be used for vacation, so I don't know why they make the distinction. 8 holidays, and your birthday off.

Yep. And then the company doesn't have to carry PTO on the balance sheet.

I get whatever I want to take, Mrs. Fut is around 30 days per year but holidays are included in that total.

I always take less than 30 Days per year, last year it was around 25.

It's up to me. This year I'll take about 23.

Note: I own a business and even when I'm away I'm still working on some level. Some days a lot more than others.

Yep I think this is a big part of it. No vacation payouts when you leave b/c there is no accrual. Makes the accounting a lot easier.

Agree with what others have said that most people will probably take the same or less with the self managed policy. However it sounds good to the college kids and people earlier in their careers.

120 Hours, accrued 5 hours per pay period (twice per month), can carry over year to year but accrual stops when my bank hits 120 hours. So 15 days.

Once I hit 4 years with the company, it goes up to 160 hours, and 10 years gets me 200 hours.

We get 9 holidays per year in addition.

10- sick (I don't use them unless I'm sick)
11- holiday (federal)
1-Birthday (must be taken the week of)


Total: 34 possible... nothing rolls over
