BCG 🐠- What is up with the 15 days accrued PTO policy, seems super low for a company thats rated, “best to work for”. Is there something within that, which I am missing?

I see where OP is coming from, I had 20 days of straight PTO post undergrad at a Big 4 and 15 days plus the opp to buy 5 more at my pre-MBA industry job. Not sure why BCG isn’t a little more generous to As and Cs...although I think the lack of utilization targets does make up for some of the difference. Also yet to test the “going negative” thing, hopefully that can get me through in a pinch...

No. That’s just vacation. Sick and, separately, personal (eg for sick kids) are unlimited

Huh? It’s 15 for As and Cs, 20 for PLs and Ps. Rollovers have to be used by 6/30 the following year. And I’ve had no prob going negative, even at year end

@bcg1 I feel like that is a little, especially if it also takes a while to accumulate. Whats the 11 paid days? Not sure if you get xmas eve off or anything.

BCG1, do those 15/20 days include sick days?

Might be what OP is getting hung up on. I get 26 days of PTO for example, but that includes both PTO and sick days

I have a governmental entity client in Texas that wants to offer 6 weeks of paid parental leave for all employees, even those who aren’t eligible for FMLA. After the paid 6 weeks, the employee can choose to continue paid leave using any accrued personal leave.

Texas does not have a paid parental leave statute.

If paid leave above what is required is offered for parents, do we also have to provide the same benefit to other employees that are eligible for unpaid leave?
