You begin each year with a zero PTO balance and as the year goes by, you earn PTO hours each pay period that you work.

• You are allowed to request/use PTO before you have earned it.
• Therefore it may result in a ‘negative’ amount.

<aside> 📌 The most effective way to find out how much PTO you have left is to subtract the total number of PTO hours you have for the year from the amount you have already taken/been approved for. You can find how much you’ve taken by logging in to your employee portal and going to “Time-Off Requests” and clicking “Accruals”. On the PTO row, click the drop down arrow on the right hand side and look at the number next to “Taken”.
