Most "unlimited PTO" is, I would argue a fraud. It's obviously not unlimited for real. And it serves as a way for companies to not have to pay out unused PTO when someone leaves.
And "unlimited PTO" starts the whole 'how much time is too much?' and a whole lot of angst on requesting days off. And that leads to studies showing "unlimited PTO folks" take 13 days off per year, and non-unlimited take 15 days off. https://lifehacker.com/why-unlimited-vacation-days-is-a-scam-1847255661 https://lifehacker.com/why-unlimited-vacation-days-is-a-scam...
Contractual minimum PTO with unlimited policy fixes that problem.
