2007 Survey Of Traditional Time Off And PTO Program Practices

The Alexander Hamilton Institute surveyed more than 22,000 registered users of our website and received 1,734 responses.

Now you can use this data to benchmark your organization against your competitors. Whether you utilize PTO (where vacation, sick, and personal leave are combined into one bank) or Traditional programs (where each type of leave is tracked separately), you’ll need (and find!) the answers to key questions such as:

• How much time off is given for PTO leave banks,   vacations, holidays, sick leave, personal time, etc.?
• Can employees borrow, carry over, cash out…how much   and when?
• Is unused vacation/PTO paid upon termination?
• When do employees acquire the time they can use to take days off?
• What's the biggest problem pinpointed by PTO practitioners?
• What's the most popular and effective vehicle for announcing and promoting PTO programs?
