PTO
Workplace vacation abbreviation
PTO is an abbreviation with two common meanings.
In workplace contexts, it stands for paid time off—vacation, sick days, and personal leave bundled together: I have three weeks of PTO saved up.
In mechanical contexts, it means power take-off, a device that transfers engine power to attached equipment: The tractor's PTO drives the mower.
