Hi everyone! I hope you’re all doing well and staying safe during the holiday season. I wanted to take a moment to highlight a role that I’m hiring for - Sr. Learning & Talent Development Partner. If you’re interested, I’ve added to the Fishbowl jobs board - https://joinfishbowl.com/job_rpc2p5vsvq. Feel free to reach out directly if you’d like to chat. :)

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
I will ask a few people

The challenge is balancing consistency with local requirements. I have found employees care just as much about clarity and fairness as they do the actual policy details.
