PTO accrual

PTO accrual, or paid time off accrual, governs how time off balances are accumulated over the course of employment. Paid time off can include vacation time, sick leave, personal days, or other types of paid time off offered by the employer.

Once an employee has earned paid time off, they can use it for any purpose covered by their employer’s policy. The amount of PTO an employee is entitled to will usually be subject to approval by their supervisor or manager and may be limited based on the employer’s policy.
