Challenge:
Some employers do not provide paid time off (PTO) to all workers—especially part-time workers. This can result in absenteeism, workers coming to work sick, or negative impact on the worker’s family finances.
Strategies:
- Consider offering sick leave and paid time off to all workers.
- Consider reverting to a “bank of days” approach rather than sick leave and vacation time. This allows workers to manage sickness, and caregiving responsibilities.
