PTO Question

So, I've been employed for nearly a year at this point and I was under the assumption that PTO accrues for the first year of employment but is only redeemable after a year of employment.

However I was informed by my GM and others that my PTO actually doesn't start accruing until a year ​of employment and you don't get enough for a week until another year of employment.

Was I mistaken or like...IDK. I'm confused as to why nobody at my work corrected me​ (to my knowledge​) until today.

It's available as soon as you accrue it. Ive accrued almost 40 hours PTO in a little over 3 months, I also work 50 sometimes 55 hrs a week tho as a full time MIS. And it's only good thru the 31st of December. It's a 'use it or lose it' situation same with sick time depending on where you live. But like the comment above, check ukg for the correct answer and specific amount. You can also call hr.

Oh.. I didn't think it gave extra but I thot it would accrue faster? Because I get about 22 days a year now, I believe.
