What is Unlimited PTO?

Unlimited PTO (Paid Time Off) is a policy where employees don't have a set number of vacation days. Instead, they can take time off as needed, with manager approval. The theory is that adults can manage their own time responsibly.

In practice, employees at companies with unlimited PTO often take less vacation than those with fixed allowances. Look for companies that also have minimum PTO requirements or that actively encourage time off.
