You should have PTO if you work full time hours in any job. I have a similar job which was 14 shifts per month and i got almost 9 days per year which is nothing but still PTO. My current position is 4 x 10 hours and i get 5 weeks PTO. Maybe a different job with better benefits will make sense.
Thank you.
In your case, it's possible that the company has chosen to incorporate the PTO or additional compensation into the regular pay rate for those hours.
Does it sound like a good deal? I’ve never not accumulated PTO so it feels strange. I know the week off can be used for stuff like vacation but if I ever need a longer time off, it will be unpaid!
Our midnight pharmacists work 70h a pay period but get paid for 80... That's their "shift differential." They also get the same company PTO that the rest of us do.
I will try negotiating for this. Thank you.
I think that you should still have PTO. I've never heard of a job saying that you just don't get pto if you work full time
Yeah. I think so too.
I have heard of this when you’re working less than 80 hours in a pay period, but being paid for 80. For example working 7-10 hour shifts, but paid for 80 hours.
Really? I thought the employer was trying to fleece me out PTO.
I've seen this, its usually included (the pay) for the time off within the regular compensation. For example, if the job offer states that pay will be for 80 hours per pay period, then the compensation already accounts for the time off during the 7-off period.
Why can’t they just offer PTO and let me decide when to get a payout? I’m a bit torn on whether to accept or not because a lot of 7 off/7 on say the week off is mostly spent on recovering from the week on and one needs more time for a real vacation or other personal stuff. Was already imagining taking a week off and actually having 3 weeks off once or twice a year without losing a whole paycheck
Run away. Unless they are paying you for 80 and you don't work a minute over 70 it is not a good deal. What about holidays.
Been doing overnight for years and you really need the vacation days. Things come up and you need days pff during your scheduled work week.
Exactly!
