What is your firms PTO, vacation, sick pay, etc. policy?

BDOers, I know what the policy is and what it will be, please don’t post.

EY: staff to senior: 15 days pto, 3 days personal days, up to 10 sick days. You can only rollover 40 hours into the next fiscal year. Managers get an additional 7 days of pto. So 22/3/10.

Anyone tested pto accrual on an audit. Firms policies better than most. Op - cannot believe what thought process was that made them communicate this change in January. Crazy

like

for staff - 16 days/20 max accrual for PTO, about 13/14 holidays. No sick or other days off other than holiday.

Managers and above get 28/30.

NOW they are reducing the max accrual for staff to 16/10 and for managers 28/20, effective 1/1/19.

Hence no staff can take more than 2 weeks at a time. Also, lots of people are close to the max now, which means that they have to start using PTO like crazy to avoid the possibility of losing out on future accruals of PTO.

They sprung this change on us yesterday during busy season. Lots of people complained on our internal social media page and we are all hoping they reconsider this.

smarthelpful

You guys have a running cap? And not just a FYE cutoff? I don’t think I’ve ever heard of that before.

To clarify, my “max” is 100 hours but that only matters at 9/30 of every year. Theoretically I can have any balance throughout the year so long as by 9/30 it is 100 or less.

Well, there is the "policy" and there is reality, which do you really want to know?

25 days PTO for associates, seniors, and managers. 30 days PTO for senior managers. No sick leave. You can roll 50% of what you accrue in a year. Balance payout upon separation.

Ey has 10 paid holidays.

Memorial, 4th of July, Labor, two days for Thanksgiving and then the firm shuts down the week of Christmas through New Year’s. So 10 or 11 I guess?

25 days PTO. Bumps to 30 at MGR. No sick days. # of Holidays is 10 but depending on when Christmas falls sometimes they give us an extra day or two. However, my understanding is we reduced PTO for new hires to 20 days? If you were previously employed you’re grandfathered into the old program. Can roll 100% of accrual each year, but you are maxed at rolling 100%

like

Got it, this is good. I think ultimately they need to not have it as rolling max and then it could be fine. The thought of not being able to have more than 2 weeks vacation at a time is silly, especially if people travel overseas. If the lower cap helps them with their PTO liability fine, as long as I get to use the max PTO during the year. We don’t know what they will do but we shall see.

like

GT had unlimited FTO, but now it's limited based on level. I think it's 23 for me as a senior. The only change from the PTO days was there's no accrued pay when you leave.

Does KPMG give holidays off? If so how many?

Op what is BDO new policy?

So this new policy of ours is line sort of with EY’s, also same with KPMG, you get more days off allowed. I like KMPG 1’s comment, “the real policy” 😂🤣

25 days pto, no sick leave. About 10 holiday days I think?
