vacation policies
Time-off guidelines
Vacation policies are the rules an employer establishes for paid time off—how much employees earn, when they can use it, whether unused days carry over or expire.
Companies vary widely: some offer unlimited vacation, others accrue hours per pay period.
The new vacation policy lets you roll over five unused days into next year.
