in a lot of places where I live it your boss can make PTO mandatory to use because it you don’t use it they will legally owe you overtime, and obviously there usually don’t want to.
This seems completely foreign to me.
My boss summons me for a one-on-one if it’s getting late in the year and I haven’t taken all my PTO yet.
If I collect too much of it, or too much overtime, without using it, I can get written up.
Sometimes it’s not easy either, with 42 days of PTO a year (plus unlimited sick days).
I just posted this in a different thread but I had a similar problem, except that my company doesn’t give a shit. Use it or lose it, I don’t get paid for it.
Anyway, had too much so I started taking every Wednesday off. No long time off means I don’t feel like my work stacks up while I’m out, and I get a ton of shit done during the week when everyone else is at work.
That is American horrors. Fucking land of the free 🦅🦅🦅
If no one else does it, im gonna make a meme out of this like 13 hours from now
In France 5 weeks PTO is the minimum. But depending on where you and with who you work, taking a leave can be seen very differently.
You can also have more than 5 weeks but it hides overtime work behind that needs to be accounted else the company can be sued for it. So they sell you a nice job with lots of PTO but in fact they don’t appreciate that you may enjoy what they owe you.
Don’t forget that your employer doesn’t give you your legally mandated annual leave, it’s one of your basic rights, like sick pay (applies to the UK, and hopefully a lot of other places).
