If you ever wanted confirmation of this, suggest to your company that instead of "unlimited vacation", which is really vague and hard to understand, the company give 8 weeks vacation that doesn't accrue or roll over year to year.
- apercu 10y agoThat's what we did, at my partnership. Except that was 1998-2006 and we only provided 5 weeks that don't roll over. I used 4 weeks one year. The rest of the years I barely got over 3. Personal choice though.
- secabeen 10y agoInterestingly, that's not legal in California. Vacation is a form of earned income, and must accrue and be paid out at separation. (You can cap accruals, but vacation accrued must be paid, and can't expire.)
- vonmoltke 10y agoThere's a legal workaround to that, though: reduce the next year's vacation allotment by the amount of unused vacation the previous year. Raytheon uses this trick to implement their use-it-or-lose-it PTO policy.
- bb611 10y agoIt should be noted that unlimited vacation is not expressly legal in CA, it's just never been challenged.
