Benefits - I'm In Shock

[Kooky Korky]

I didn't know that the 25 days of PTO we get must be used to be paid for holidays. I knew they were for sick time, vacation days, and personal emergencies. But they also must be used to get paid for the holidays that the employer "gives" us.

How does it work at your place of employment?

You don't get 36 hours of PTO, then, you get 36 hours of sick time. Some of the "complainers" are stating their PTO allowance and that includes any time off for the year. No extra 4 weeks of vacation. I agree 36 hours of sick time is harsh, but 4 weeks vacation is nice.

They call it PTO, you use it for whatever personal time off. Also, the 4weeks is only cause I've been there over 10 years.

But still, 36 hours is tough. 3 shifts . That's it. Wow
