Paid time off (PTO) represents the agreed number of days an employee can skip work. It’s based on labor legislation and the company’s policy and includes (but it’s not limited to) vacation days, public holidays, maternity leave, sick days, and personal events. Other possible situations of PTO are training and courses, days related to the company’s culture (e.g. Engineer's Day), and teambuilding.
If you want to manage all these situations using a single document for all employees (and you should), download this free Excel PTO Tracker right now.
