If you use all of your PTO at work for whatever reason, does your company allow you to take scheduled unpaid time off?
-
Yes, if you are going through something like FMLA.
-
yes but they also give you the option to take PTO and then pay back your time off as your accrue it
-
Yes but it has to be approved by your manager
-
It depends on the type of time and the reason, and I believe it's at the discretion of your VP.
Vacation you can take before you earn it for the year, but if you take more than you'd earn before the end of the fiscal year, you have to get permission to take unpaid time.
For sick, if you institute FMLA, you can take unpaid time. But you then have to pay what the company pays toward your benefits (like insurance) in order to keep them

When I first started at my job I was getting married, moving, then have 2 trips already planned. So I just wasn't paid for the days over what I would've had for PTO.
-
My current job they do & they rarely deny it (I'm taking 3.5 unpaid days at thanksgiving). When I taught in public school, PTO was very restricted & unpaid wasn't a thing. If a teacher took unpaid time, they'd end up paying the district for their substitute teacher!
-
No, but they let you buy an extra week of PTO each year. (I'm sure you can take unpaid leave for FMLA reasons.)
-
It would have to be approved and for a valid reason.
For instance, I had to take a day unpaid because my daughter was getting tests done at a Children's hospital, because I used all my PTO had to use a day unpaid and it had to be approved by both my manager and our HR manager (who questioned me pretty extensively which pissed me off.) I think anything else would have been rejected.
-
When I just started they let me take time off I hadn't accrued yet.
-
yup. they just take it out of your future PTO earned. If you quit, they'll take it out of your last paycheck.
-
Yes, subject to the same approval process as paid time off. We are open to the public so it would depend on how much staffing we have that day.
-
We can take unpaid time off, or we can borrow vacation, but the borrowed time has to be approved by your VP.
-
Yep, because our job load is dependent on clients, as long as we manage our work our team/boss/vp is pretty lenient on taking time off as needed. We end up working more hours anyway!
-
No. So annoying. 4 years ago when I started, I asked about unpaid vacation. My manager (some stupid MBA type) forwarded HR's response saying "your employee needs to manage her vacation time more effectively." I was pissed- it was just so rude. This was during a crisis time when like 7 of our 20Nurse Practitioners had quit bc of burnout. And they wondered why there was turnover in our department
-
We don't have PTO, we have just vacation. If we use up our vacation we can go negative (hours). If we are negative, we have to wait til we are positive again to take time off. So I could wait until I go positive and take vacation again.
-
Yes, we can either request advance leave (basically borrowing from what we'll accrue in the future) or can choose to take the time unpaid with manager approval.
-
Yes with management approval
-
We have unlimited PTO as long as it's approved by a manager....so it's a non issue
