Employers require employees to use their accrued Paid Time Off (PTO) or Sick Time to cover company-paid holidays that they are also not allowed to work. This practice effectively reduces an employee’s total annual leave time, potentially leading to increased stress, decreased job satisfaction, and potential burnout.
Proposed Solution:
Popose that employers should not mandate the use of PTO or sick time for company-paid holidays. Instead, employees should be compensated for these holidays as regular workdays.
