How does PTO work at your company? My manager says I need to accrue leave before I can take time off, even for just 2-3 days. Is that the usual practice?

Yes? You can go into the negative but most people don’t unless they have to.

Some companies let you go negative to "borrow" PTO some only let you use pto you've already accrued

Same here our company you can borrow and go negative say 2-3 days.

Every company is different. My previous job, you accrue your PTO. You can go negative as long as your PTO is positive at the end of the fiscal year. In my current role, it's accrual only .

Mmmkay thanks?

We’re given all our days on day 1 of the fiscal year. No accrual but they don’t carry over.

At my company you accrue 10 hours per month. I you don’t have any you can go negative up to 40 hours.

I think it depends on your company. When I worked for the government, you had to accrue paid leave before taking it. My current company has unlimited PTO so no accrual needed but should probably have a decent reason if taking time off during the first few months.

unlimited PTO (not at CR currently), but at CR you had to accrue time every 2 weeks/semi-monthly. the amount you’d accrue depended on your title. hope this helps! :)

At my company, you accrue your PTO, and the maximum you can accrue is 200 hours. The wonderful thing is that you get to keep your 200 hours into the next fiscal year.

This was a recent change back in December 2023, you get the option to sell your PTO for up to 40 hours.

Is this you telling us you’re trying to take leave when you’re new to a job?

Did not say it was crazy - it’s quite sane. But when you’re new to a job, company holidays is usually about all you’re going to get.

Yes. It's very normal. You can't use something you haven't earned it. You earn PTO like you earn your wage. Getting to use your pay early is an advance. Using leave you haven't accured yet is a leave advance. You'll have to make it up later.

You can go negative with sick leave up to a week but only after 18 months of tenure with the agency.

Other than that... you must have the time off in order to use it. no exceptions.

We accrue 6 hours every pay period for a total of 12 hours. We can't take PTO unless we have some in our bank so it does have to be accrued before you can take it. Our sick and PTO time is all in one so the only time you can take it without it being accrued is sick time and then it is unpaid time off.
