I saw a meme video about this.

1) they found employees took less pto under “unlimited” pto policy.

2) you still need approval from your manager. And, heck, that looks like a self-identification system telling the company they can easily get rid of you in a layoff without missing you.

3) they won’t pay out for any pto when laid off or you resign.

I’d take what you have on the books before this and take those vacations. Next, I’d keep the last set of rules on PTO and use that as your guideline when asking for PTO. And you can always justify that you’re not asking for more than what was due under the old system. But consider any carry over rules as over and done with. It’s use or lose every year.

My guys were just the opposite when it came to PTO . Except for the guys that wanted time off to hunt , most of them didn't want to take off out of fear of missing out on overtime . Fridays were a guaranteed 10 hrs so nobody ever took a long weekend . Some of those hogs racked up over 1000 hours of OT every year .

Nope. He front loaded his productivity by not taking the vacation previously. Possibly was more productive during his relatively prime working years than those closer to retirement.

Yes, I understand what you are saying.
