PTO

Read a random definition: Code Napoléon

A quick definition of PTO:

PTO: PTO stands for "Paid Time Off." It's a type of benefit that some employers offer to their employees. This means that employees can take time off from work without losing pay. PTO can be used for vacation, sick days, or personal days. It's important to check with your employer to see if they offer PTO and how it works.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: PTO stands for "Paid Time Off." It refers to a type of employee benefit where an employer provides a certain amount of paid time off that an employee can use for vacation, sick leave, or personal reasons.

For example, if an employee has 10 days of PTO per year, they can use those 10 days for any reason they choose, such as taking a vacation or staying home when they are sick. The employer will continue to pay the employee during their time off, as if they were still working.

Another example would be if an employee has a doctor's appointment and needs to take a half-day off of work. They can use their PTO to cover the time they are away from work and still receive their regular pay.

These examples illustrate how PTO works as a benefit for employees, allowing them to take time off without losing pay or risking their job security.

This is obviously not true for UVA. Past years show they don't send any non A results until December
