I keep seeing people taking off their days before the end of the year.
As a teacher, they love if I bank my days. When I retire, they will pay the sub rate for a certain number of days, but I don't get paid for most of them.
I get 10 sick and 2 personal days a year. A couple years ago they changed the personal days from use them or lose them to roll unto sick days. My sick days continue to grow. Right now I have 47 days, I think.
Dh earns a percentage of time that he works. The longer you are with the system the faster you earn it. At 400 hours they stop letting you earn it, so a couple times a year DH has to take a week or so off so the can keep earning and not lose it.
Do you get your time off in a calendar year or can you bank it/roll it over?

It rolls over - it does cap though, I’m not sure at what amount - something like 300 hours.

At the place I work we get three weeks of vacation and unlimited sick days. They do not roll over.
With my position, I have to use all my vacation before 4th quarter since about 40% of our business happens in those three months.

I get 5 sick days a year. We can roll over up to 6 weeks. I can roll over a week of vacation a year. The rest has to be used. Right now I have a week and 2 days of vacation. I’ll roll a week to bank and I have to use my 2 days before my anniversary date.

The only place I’ve ever worked that allowed PTO to roll over was a hospital.
I currently have unlimited PTO, so there’s no real way to roll that over.

I have a couple of people under me that get the same as i do (10 sick, 2 personal) and they were out before middle of October and are now taking non paid absences. If they got unlimited people, man... |

Ours rolls over but there is a 350 hour cap on vacation time so you do wind up throughout the year with people being forced to take time off as they reach the cap. Sick time does not have a cap.

My last job my PTO rolled over and I left the company with over 100 hours paid out to me because it was impossible to ever get time away. My current job my PTO does not roll over but I always end the year at zero because it’s never an issue when I put in for time off. I prefer the guilt free PTO usage over accruing tons of it but never being able to use it because there’s not someone around to cover my position adequately in my absence.

We also have unlimited time off, so no accrual. It's a very small company and as long as you don't abuse it, no one says a thing about taking time off. There was one guy who didn't come in until ten and left at three EVERY DAY. That was pushing it too far and he was terminated. So there are limits.  |

Our CTO bank (sick, holiday, and vacation ) rolls over, but we can’t accrue more than 1.5 times of our annual allotment, which for me is 432 hours. When I leave I will be paid for my CTO bank.

Our sick time is use or or lose it.
Vacation time accrues up to a certain point. A few years worth I think, and can be cashed out at retirement.

Yes, and fortunately they roll over. Right now I have 961+ hours of PTO. I also receive comp time for hours of overtime worked, which I can use for appointments and single days off, so I only use my PTO for vacation time. I get 4 weeks of PTO/sick leave each year and I usually use ~3 weeks, and with COVID this year and the inability to travel, I haven't used any, leaving me lots of banked leave. I can only roll over 20 hours of comp time each year, so I try to use it first.

Five days a year, sick only not for vacation. Does not roll. But we have a total of five preassigned weeks off, three holiday time, one week in the spring and five random federal holiday days throughout the year. Must use and cannot roll.

We get PTO only, no separate sick time, and it depends on your years of service. I get 5 weeks a year and never manage to use it all. We can carry over 200 hours into the next year and anything over 200 hours gets paid out in our first check in the new calendar year. The payout for hours over 200 may go away, though, and if it does I'll need to make sure I'm using more time (which I should be doing anyway.)

We get 4 weeks annual leave every year. It does roll over but they strongly encourage us to take the 4 weeks every year. The last 2 years they have actually given people an extra week if they get their balance down to zero by the end of the year. I've currently got about 3 weeks owing, and there is no way I was going to take three weeks just to get a "free" week. We can't travel, so what's the point?
I also have 6 months of paid long service leave owing to me. They don't worry about people carrying that over so much.
Sick leave accrues and carries over as well. In the 21 years I've been at my company I've hardly taken any sick leave, so I'd have a ton of it by now.

Our vacation, sick, and holiday is all in one big PTO balance. It rolls over. It accumulates based on the yrs we've been here. I do not get short term disability, so the PTO bank is sort of used for that if needed by a lot of people. I had to use these hrs for my maternity leave when I had my girls. I've been here 36 yrs, and I have quite a bit of PTO built up.

If they got unlimited people, man... Nah, neither of the companies where I’ve had it have had issues with abuse. Honestly, people are far more likely to underuse it than overuse it. We put in a policy this year that managers are responsible for ensuring their directs take at least three weeks a year, because too many employees were taking very little time off (working remotely can lead to really bad habits of not taking time fully off). |

I earn per paycheck and it rolls over, but caps out at 240 hours. At that point you won’t earn anymore. They encourage us to use it, but offer a buy-out at the end of the year. You can cash out between 10-80 hours as long as you have 40 hours remaining in your bank.
Dh can’t carry any over.

We get PTO only and you can roll over 40 hours where I work. Anything above that goes into a bucket that can be used if you’re sick with no PTO left. But that time can only be used for illness and if you leave, you don’t get it paid out. In fact, if you leave, I think you can only be paid out for 40 hours, regardless of how much you have in your PTO bucket.

We are use it our loose it but can roll one week over but it must be used by the end of March. We are on a fiscal calendar that ends 2/28.
Dh gets unlimited and no, folks don’t take advantage. Like Busy said, it’s more likely to be underused.

I get PTO to cover vacation and sick time (the number of days per year depends on years of service). Employees can roll over up to 40 hours, but no more. If we have any more than that accrued at the end of the year we lose it. Since our PTO covers vacation and sick time most of us end up saving quite a bit of it until the end of the year so we can be sure to have an adequate amount of time in case we get sick. Then pretty much no one is in the office for half of December because we're all trying to use up enough time so we don't lose any.
DH can roll over unlimited PTO time.

My company has a use it or lose it policy. We get 6 sick/personal days that expire at 12/31 and vacation time is based on our anniversary. We used to be able to carry it forward or get paid out but they stopped that for budget and scheduling purposes.
I took almost no time off this year so I have my 4 remaining personal days scheduled for Christmas week. I don't know how I'll be able to use up my 3 vacation weeks by 3/3. I am hoping they'll allow us to carry over some time since there was a 4 month stretch of time where I really couldn't take vacation.

It rolls over but it's capped at like 400 or something at which time you have to use it or cash it out.
Mine accrues pretty quickly but I hardly ever get to use it so I've got like 161 hours right now. I have strep unfortunately so I'm finally getting to use some hours...but using them for when you're actually sick is no fun!

I get 4 weeks of vacation a year. I can accrue up to 160 hrs at any given time. If it hits that limit, it stops accruing.
We accrue 8 sick days a year (around 2.3 hrs a paycheck). We can, by Washington State law, roll 40 hours over to the next year.
We also can use our sick time however we wish - as floaters, extra vacation, sick time, mental health day, etc.

Our sick/personal days do not roll over. Vacation time is school vacation time; we don't get other vacations while school is in session.
I have never used all my sick/personal days. I'm always afraid something will come up (family emergency, etc.) and I'll need them, so I don't take them as personal days. Pre-COVID, I rarely took a sick day, either - it's *much* more work to prepare sub plans than to just teach the classes myself, so I don't stay home unless I'm REALLY sick. This year is different: you can't come to school with a cold or cough of any kind, and the limit on sick days is being relaxed accordingly.
There are other teachers at my school who scrupulously DO take all of their sick/personal days each year - they figure that since they don't roll over, they'd better take them while they have them. I used to be very judgey about that, but now I think they might be right... I really wish we could roll them over. I feel like people would be more honest about taking them.
