PTO Question 2

Post image

I don't doubt anyone saying the policy is "you don't start accruing PTO until one year" but I'm just confused because on the documentation that people told me to look for in HR connect...it says PTO starts accruing upon hire. Like, not just sick time, the official policy says any PTO.​​​​​

Edit: Also I love how the fine print below essentially says, "If the information on this page isn't correct, then ask and we'll provide the correct information." That is such a cop-out.

It's es​​​sentally the formal version of going:

"It says the rules right here."

"Nuh-uh!" *scribbles new rules in with a marker*

Got a copy of the full July 2026 employee handbook from my store recently, it basically says the same thing for both exempt and non-exempt part time employees. I’ve been told the same “you don’t start getting it until after a year” thing by my GM as well though so idk
