[IASHRM] Transitioning Vacation Policy to a PTO Policy

[Cheryl Brashear]

We went through this several years ago and put together a "Contingent
Leave" account from their previous bank that a person could access for
FMLA reasons if they were out for a period of 5 days or more.  They
could use this bank rather than their PTO as long as they met the FMLA
criteria.  Since we do not have a short-term disability plan, this is an
option that allows more flexibility.

We also offer a "payout" at year-end for an amount up to 5 days.

I would be glad to answer any additional questions you may have.
