The Ultimate Guide to Prorated PTO

The Ultimate Guide to Prorated PTO

Summary

  • Prorated PTO gives employees the right amount of vacation based on how much of the year they’ve worked or how many hours they work.
  • You can calculate it by months for a quick estimate or by days for more precision, just stay consistent across your team.
  • Proration applies in more situations than just new hires, including part-time roles, temporary contracts, extended leave, or internal role changes.
