PTO
October 20th, 2011There is a fair bit of uncertainty and misunderstanding about Paid Time Off, from both management and employees alike. Employers ask questions like “can we require the use of PTO during slow periods?” and employees wonder “can my company limit when I want to use PTO?”
Generally, the rules (or lack thereof) relating to PTO favor the employer. There is nothing in the FLSA that requires employers to give any PTO, and employers can usually set their policies how they choose.
Management is free to determine periods of peak activity, during which employees may not use PTO. Likewise, management can mandate the use of PTO during slow periods or to reduce staff temporarily with furloughs.
There are some restrictions, however. Whatever the businesses policy, it must be applied consistently and non-discriminatorily. Employees must have a reasonable opportunity to use the time they’re given. (Unpaid ) leave protected by law, like FMLA, cannot be restricted by the company.
Whatever the employer decides, the best policy is one that is clearly communicated and evenly applied.
InFocus Partners is here to help our clients with Human resource policy creation and application.
