I currently work in the manufacturing industry and I’m working on updating our attendance/PTO policy. Would anybody be willing to share their policy or general bullet points of their policy? We are trying to align across multiple states including New York so we need this to take the paid sick time into consideration and are debating on one PTO bank for everything versus a separate sick bank. Would appreciate any input or thoughts!

I am in MN so we have a "safe and sick leave" that we had to consider as well. We load everything in one bank (we tried partial accrual to align with the MN laws, but it was a nightmare). They get frontloaded their PTO on their anniversary date - that is the amount of PTO they get and when it's gone it's gone (they can roll over up to 80 hours per year). The language in our handbook advises that it is for sick, vacation etc (and includes the legal stuff needed for our MN laws etc). People are going to use their "sick" or "vacation" how they want. I feel having it in one bank is saying "you're an adult, manage your time off accordingly".

This is how I did mine and I’m in CA. It works in regards to staying compliant with the federal and state laws, plus a lump sum is so much easier and appealing as a benefit than accrual
