I’ve never heard of that before. I’m curious to hear someone’s perspective on this.

This is true, our PTO bank is for everything-holidays, vacation, sick and it’s minimal

Are total accrued PTO for a given year inclusive of all holidays hours too?

like

Yes

No, I have never heard of that. Did your manager do this to you? You might want to take that to HR

like

It hasn't happened to me personally. Yet. But it was mentioned in several comments on Glassdoor for the company I recently interviewed with. So I just wanted to get some information in case I get this job so I'm prepared to speak to it.

I’m pretty sure L&I would be interested to hear this.

Not sure how it is legal but yes. If they are closed for holiday even though they say you are paid for holidays it is actually your pto that you spent 2 weeks trying to get 1 day of.

like

Yes they do require you to use PTO on Holidays if your department is closed. When Sanford took over they increased the number of pto days to cover the holiday pto. It's no longer a separate bank of hours. Same with how many other employers do not have a separate bank for sick hours.

like

For my job I was told because staffing is always needed even on holidays, if we don't work a holiday we have to take PTO to cover the hours.

Same but the other annoying catch here is the want less staffing on holiday so we are only required/able to work 1 holiday. It's mandatory PTO for the other holidays

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected. I proceed to ask how much PTO is offered and he said that is not recommend within the first 6 months of working and the harder you work the more PTO you receive. From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.
