PwC has unlimited sick days and honestly so many holidays and vacation hours that it feels unlimited and you get it paid out… best to of both worlds!

like

Interesting @Deloitte. Permanent change or temporary due to COVID and current demand? And how was it implemented? 3 weeks added to the numerator (vacation + charge hours)? Or removed from denominator (avail hours - PTO)?

We suspended util requirements when COVID first hit and util was plummeting, but that was temporary. Surprised to hear the calc would change even on a temp basis

Haha. Giving "unlimited" PTO to people who are measured by billable hours is like giving unlimited iced coffee to the people manning the Antarctic climate station. What does it matter if you cannot take it?

Not us. Maxes out at five weeks unless you're grandfathered into another arrangement.

Unlimited PTO!!! But it impacts your utilization… it sounds great but it’s actually about the same as dedicated PTO

Unlimited* pto

Ours maxes at 4-5 weeks depending on level/tenure, with the ability to carry up to half of that over to the next year if unused

Definitely not Accenture

Deloitte starts you with 5 weeks and it goes up after M to 6 weeks. Rollover up to 5 weeks at year end

I roll over my full 6 weeks.

With unlimited PTO couldn’t one (if they were so inclined) take PTO forever and not work. I mean technically the policy says “unlimited”…

Deloitte has pretty decent balance. Specially now a days.

I’d say even longer than now a days. It was 25-30 days when I joined in 2008.

Never want unlimited. PO’d if we did that - majorly.

Lol I would almost not accept a job offer based solely on the fact they are “unlimited PTO”
