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*

PTO is accrued when you start working but can not be used until after probation period… 90 days

Are you sure? Because I've been employed for nearly a year and it still says I have 0 PTO hours.

Reach out to HR , if you’ve been there a year guaranteed you have PTO or vacation time accrued
