Turns out that unlimited PTO policy isn't so unlimited.... 😂😂

likefunny

Deloitte is 6 weeks

5 weeks here.

The idea with unlimited is people won't take the same amount of vacation as those firms with limits to vaca. We have a mindset not waste our vacation, that's impossible for people with unlimited. Even with my current 3 weeks I found it rather difficult to take all my vacation. I likely would not take as much as I did without the cap.

Also, no vacation is paid out upon exiting the irm with unlimited. There's really no upside to unlimited vaca, it's a recruiting gimmick.

EY1 is 100% accurate. Unlimited PTO (at least in the context of a large high employee turnover professional services firm), is purely a move to eliminate $ on payouts of PTO accruals when people quit.

Yup standard is 5 1/2 weeks vacation (22 days) and 2 1/2 weeks holiday (12 days) - 7 weeks total

like

30 days of pto, which includes sick time and vacation. (If sick for more than a week, doesn’t come out of pto). Plus holidays of 10 days plus usually 2 extra over Xmas

like

176 hours (so 23 days)

@rsm1 Baha for real? I don’t know much about it, just heard the unlimited buzzword

GT is unlimited

5 weeks

Pwc1 176 is 22 days not 23

BDO is 28 days

Agree with ey1. Unlimited is a scam. We used to have unlimited sick time, I never took a single sick day. We changed to 10 sick days per year and now I use all my sick day.

Unlimited PTO is a scam. Ours is 4 weeks. I think you get 5 weeks at 10 years

PwC don’t forget the extra holidays. It’s been years since we only had the official 10

I love when coworkers say “Enjoy your PTO, it’s so well deserved.” Like what? It’s in my offer letter and part of my compensation, I’m entitled to it. We all are.

Has anyone heard or experienced going on maternity leave, then leaving shortly after returning? I'm hearing from my husband's company if he takes pat leave, and leaves shortly after returning, he'd have to repay the wages paid while out on leave. Is this only for pat leave and the person who gives birth wouldn't have to pay back as it's technically disability pay? Trying to weigh my options as I want to get out of my company, but want the mat leave first.
