We encourage everyone to use their PTO and if we notice high balances above the carry over by September, we usually work to ensure they use the time. We also have a concept of short term disability so that if you are seriously ill, the first 4 days go against pto, and then STD kicks in to pay 100% for weeks 2-10, 80% for 11-18 and 60% for 18-26, and you can use pto hours to supplement those if you are in the 80%/60% category. We also get an additional 8 weeks of full paid leave per calendar year for approved events like having a baby (mother or father) or caring for for a relative (We didn't have that when we were having babies though  ). We have no actual sick days though. |
This feels like a policy from an industry where we as a society have to accept 3-5% inflation every year forever, because they refuse to innovate (or can't because of the above) to increase productivity.
Oh man I can't wait for Ai / robots.
