Paid time off (PTO) is a valuable benefit offered by many organizations, allowing you to take breaks from work to recharge and pursue personal interests. But how exactly do you earn PTO? Here at Vizitor, we understand the importance of transparency in employee benefits, so we’ll break down the basics of PTO accrual:

What is PTO accrual?

PTO accrual refers to the process of gradually earning paid time off based on the hours you work. Different companies have different policies, but generally, the more hours you work, the more PTO you accumulate. This accrued time can then be used for various types of leave, such as:

Vacation days: Enjoy time away from work to relax and travel.

Sick leave: Take time off to recover from illness without financial impact.

Personal days: Address personal needs or emergencies.
