During the last episode of “Take It or Leave It” we discussed the concept of “Unlimited” paid time off (PTO) for employees at an international level. For this episode, we are back for the second part of this two-part mini-series to explore “unlimited” PTO policies for U.S. employees.

Co-hosts Josh Seidman and Meg Toth are joined by their colleague and expert employment counselor and advisor, Chelsea Mesa, from Seyfarth Shaw LLP’s Los Angeles Office, to discuss important legal considerations and best practices for U.S. employers considering (or currently administering) an “unlimited” PTO program. Specifically, Chelsea discusses the benefits and drawbacks of “unlimited” PTO programs, including compliance with various state paid sick and vacation laws, considerations for implementing “unlimited” PTO programs for different types of workforces, and general best practices for drafting, implementing and administering an “unlimited” PTO program.
