paid time off
Leave with wages
Paid time off is employee leave during which wages continue—vacation days, sick days, personal days, or a combined bank of hours.
Often abbreviated PTO.
Some companies distinguish between types; others lump everything together: I have three weeks of paid time off per year.
The phrase emphasizes that you're not working but still getting paid.
