Proper PTO
P
aid time off, also known as PTO,
isn't easy for restaurant companies
to navigate. It can enhance the
likelihood of retaining top-tier talent, but it
can also be easily abused. PTO is never fun
when it leads to vital personnel gone when
you need them most, but it's a lot worse

they never get time to recharge. An effective
PTO policy leaves you in control to
make decisions and lead to what's best for
your company and not be at the mercy of a
poorly designed policy.

advantage of the system or the ambiguity of
not knowing how many days off they have
left and how to request vacation properly.

state law is different, employees can come
in for 20 minutes and legally negate that as
a complete " day off. " With an ambiguous

PTO policy, actions like working a little bit
and taking the rest of the day off might not
count against their PTO in court.
Along with that, a salaried manager
could move the days that they usually work
up to earlier in the week and then push the
following week's start to later, use some half
days at the beginning and end, and turn it
into a five-day break. They could do this
and legally say they didn't miss a workday
unless you have a signed policy addressing
actions like this. Even then, that might
not fly in a court of law. Playing fast with
