Higher turnover rate than a restaurant and they’re just now matching PTO numbers that most F500 companies had 10 years ago.

Maybe when turnover gets worse they’ll bump it to meet the industry standard.

I know right that’s why I’m excited. Moving from 10 pto days to 15 with an extra floating holiday. Confused as to what the law is around rolling over pto days from year to year or what the payout is if you leave your job. It says “where state law is applicable, payout will be capped at 5 days”

Most states don't mandate the payout of accrued PTO. Recently learned this, but basically they're only going to pay you for 5 days regardless of how much you have left when you leave the firm.

They probably don't allow you to take PTO after you put in your 2 weeks, so keep this in mind when you start your exit.

Trying to help fight that 30%+ turnover rate eh?

Haha I suppose that’s what it is. What else could can a company do to keep attrition low?

Very good point! What other benefits would you recommend to get at to reduce attrition?

I have 2 offers to consider. What makes more sense?
Full time role with 3 weeks vacation and benefits or contract opportunity with 20k more in potential salary.

Little background, I have been a loyal employee and have only worked at 1 firm for about 6 years now. Looking for more growth and obviously money.

Need some suggestions on what to consider and any pitfalls that I should be aware of.

Thanks

Hi All, Do the medical/dental benefits begin as of the hire date or is there a waiting period? Also, does Sunlife offer internet reimbursement for remote employees? Thanks in advance!

I just logged in for open enrollment and see that my benefit costs are increasing quite a bit. Family of 4 - medical/dental/vision will be about $345/pay period plus whatever I contribute to my HSA. Is this the norm now or is this way too much? We are also on an income based rate plan and I recently crossed into the bottom of the most expensive tier so it’s an even bigger hit over the normal YoY increase.

Studies show, Friday pizza parties are better than vacation.

Just started a new job and have no PTO and my gf is moving back to her home country. She’s upset that I can’t come with her and doesn’t want to go on the weekend because thats when her goodbye party is planned. Yes, we’re gonna do long distance. AITA?

Hello, I am a new grad with a doctorate in OT. I just got an offer for a job working at a private school. The offer is 58K with benefits. 15 days PTO. Do you guys think I can negotiate the salary to 70K, which based on my research is the average pay for my level of experience and education? Or is that too much to ask?

Bad? They don’t do this to the other associates (all male).
