What's your take on Unlimited PTO?. Is it better to have fixed number of PTO?

I think the main advantage of fixed PTO is that people can confidently take a set number, but then what happens when people aren’t even taking those days fully? It seems like the more important issue is having an environment that encourages PTO whether fixed or unlimited.

I agree. Thanks for sharing.

It’s generally a great way for companies to not have to pay out unused vacation time when people leave firms. It’s generally just PR. I know of two people who have it and they take as many days off as I do and I have a fixed amount. Their requests for time off (yes they have to request still) aren’t always approved.

That's true

Many companies are offering unlimited PTO, than I thought

6 months pregnant and just laid off. And 40% of my severance was just taken in taxes .. I just spoke with paid family leave and I no longer qualify even though I had been paying into the program (thanks NY).. I already applied for unemployment but doctors are telling me I’ve got 10-14 weeks left in this pregnancy.. so stressed having twins and being unemployed, no maternity leave, no paychecks coming in, and I’ve been applying but not a single interview.. just ugh. 😭

Hi, does anyone know when an employee becomes eligible for maternity/paternity leave at either Gilead, BMS, or Merck? For NVS, it’s day 1 of employment but not sure if that’s common within the industry.

I received an offer and asked about their parental leave. I don't plan on having kids anytime soon but would like to in 3-5 years and hope I can start a long-term career here. Was that a weird question to ask? The company initially responded that they are rewriting it so I didn't get much detail.

Hey all. I and some coworkers are reservists. We are trying to get the reserve leave policy more in line with other NYC bank's and consulting firms, as the bank does almost the bare minimum for userra. Was hoping some of you all wouldn't mind sharing the highlights of your institutions reserve leave policy so I can present a benchmark.
