What is a leave and time-off policy?
A leave and paid time-off policy is a combination of days off that an employee can take while either getting paid or unpaid. Each jurisdiction has its own restrictions and requirements for PTO policies. A PTO policy should include paid and unpaid leave options, PTO request procedures, accrual and rollover details, and finally consequences for violation.

Worknice content partners have helped create a comprehensive library of sample templates, policies and contracts.
Our content partners are made up of HR consultants, lawyers, experts and professionals. As a result, they pride themselves on offering quality resources that are freely accessible to the public.
This particular sample leave and time-off policy is a reproduction of a digital ‘smart document’ that is available as part of the Worknice document management solution.
Why are we giving it away for free?
Worknice is a software platform that helps you focus your time and energy on people, rather than process. This downloadable template is a pdf or editable document. So while the content is great, it does not come to life with technology features like automations, workflows, auto-updates, electronic sign-offs, integration and more.
