Just record hrs as PTO, the system will allow you to do it ..reconciliation happens at the end of the calendar year I believe

Also, you have a floating holiday that you can take

U can go into the negative, it doesn't matter. Also pto doesn't hurt changeability

A2 good to know!

Yes you can technically "borrow" from future PTO.

I don't think you can take days without pay at any of the big 4....

Look up Take 5 in the corporate policy. Also, consult location or project HR if you have questions

I went client side and am miserable - it’s madness on this side. Have made it 90 days and would prefer not to make it more than 120 - but we’re in a pandemic. Half of the problem is that I “onboarded” remote and the onboarding was TERRIBLE. The other thing is that there is no process and I’m on a team full of managers who have spent 15 years at this company and have no availability to talk to me with a day full of meetings. I’d prefer not to quit without a backup but I cry every day.
