Hi, we are currently updating our Apprenticeship Policy and I wanted to understand what other organisations offer in regards to:
1. Rewards for exam passes
2. Holiday allowance during study

Any detail would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Do you allow your staff to drink alcohol during work hours?

Working on a similar project myself. Following...

I've seen it in banking/accounting - you generally have a few weeks off for the exam prep (you can have a cap but generally, they can advise you on what they need). Rewards can vary - some places can do a bonus, swag, or some kind of gift card etc as a congrats thing

I accepted a new job, they said PTO was “generous.” I find out it’s 19 days a year of PTO (which includes sick days). I have two young children and we like to vacation 1-2x a year (no more than a few days away each time). Am I crazy that this is pretty limited time off? 8 of the normal holidays off during the year (working the week between Christmas and NYE). Thoughts? I dont know if lack of PTO is a good reason to back out, is it?

I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks
