How is PTO set-up in your library by policy?
by Tahquamenon Library Director 15 Jul '24

15 Jul '24

Hello fellow listers, I was considering updating or changing how my library's PTO system works. I am reaching out to see how other libraries have their PTO set-up. For example how does an hourly employee accumulate PTO, is there a limit per year for PTO accumulated, in what situations can PTO be used or is not to be used and if PTO is not used in a Fiscal Year what is done with it? I appreciate any insights on how your library's PTO policy works and what to avoid in developing it. Thank you, -Brian Brian Freitag Director Tahquamenon Area Public Library 700 Newberry Avenue Newberry, MI 49868 tqdirector(a)tahquamlibrary.org (906) 293-5214 <https://www.google.com/search?gs_ssp=eJzj4tLP1TfIsjQsLM82YLRSNagwSTGxNDcySk…>
