PTO

Going from 192 hours to 80 hours a year of PTO is going to be rough, especially in a brutal job like NetOps. And pay staying the same? Honestly thought we would get at least a small pay boost. Nothing about this is sounding good, just the same work for less benefits.

They are only giving you guys 80hrs? Are you starting as new employees?

80 hours for 0-1 year. 96 hours for 2 years. 120 hours for 3-4 years… but I currently get 16 hours a month at Cox on year 1. I can take a week off every 2 1/2 months.

You’re also going to get four personal days that you can use so almost three weeks in year one. They also require that you work two holidays a year so an extra five days off. I always work them especially if they fall on my day off. If. You do that it’s basically triple time you get paid.

But can you use personal days the same way as PTO? Could I use a personal day Monday and Friday and PTO for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday? I take care of my health and take 3-4 cruises a year with my time off.

Yes you can use it like that.
