[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Where I work (not California) this time is "use it or lose it" so no. Our comp is 52 weeks a year and we can take up to 3 weeks (not consecutive) of that off for whatever if scheduled or unscheduled for sickness. 1 week if you are new. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ThunderWhiskers@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) Still yes. The point is that PTO is part of your compensation package. If you don't use it you are not receiving that compensation. Put it another way: if part of your compensation package is a company vehicle (just like everyone else in the company) but you work from home, are you going to consider that fair compensation? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] RBWells@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Yes I understand that. Just wanted to point out that most places don't pay out unused PTO. Unless required by law. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ThunderWhiskers@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago Oh for sure, which is why it should be. permalink fedilink source parent
