Prorated PTO is when an employee receives a partial amount of paid time off based on when they started or how much they work. It ensures fairness for part-time schedules or mid-year hires, so no one gets more or less than they’ve earned.

What is prorated PTO?
Calculating Prorated PTO

New Hires
For employees who didn’t start at the beginning of your PTO cycle, calculate time off based on the remaining portion of the year. This ensures they receive only the time they’ve accrued.

Part Timers
For part-time employees, calculate PTO based on the proportion of hours they work compared to full-time employees. That way, their time off aligns with their workload.
