Our company is moving to unlimited PTO starting next year. What’s the average time off you’ve taken per calendar year?

Unlimited PTO is an accounting trick to make sure they don’t pay your PTO out when you leave.

So true! And makes it harder for you to take any time off.

Nice! Thanks for the feedback.

I usually take 3 weeks off not including holidays (with holidays about 4-5) but many of my colleagues take a lot more time off!

This is helpful thanks!

Will be about 4.5 weeks this year. Unlimited policies are shown that on average, employees use less days (that is what I was told at least) since employees aren't trying to hit a certain number of days off they have in a given year. Also yes if you do not have a bank of PTO hours, there is nothing to pay out if you were to leave.

My experience with the policy is good, they don't want you taking every Friday off for example, but especially if you are on top of things in your role, you should be able to take off time a plenty.

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?

Keep looking for what you want and deserve. I'm happy to be forging a better path away from what I've had to endure.

How much stock do you put on benefits? I have two offers with stark differences in benefits. Job 1: role I want, but benefit sucks (2 weeks paternity leave, 20% coinsurance). Job 2: role is okay but higher level and great benefits (16 weeks paternity, 0% coinsurance, 5 more days of vacation). Total comp is the same though. I wonder if I should just focus on role but Job 2 is a large company, so I can move around after 2-3 years I’d expect. Thoughts?
