Eliminate Spreadsheets & Reduce Errors with BerniePortal’s PTO Tracker

When creating benefits packages for employees, paid time off should be at the top of your organization’s list. Whether it is unlimited, allotted, or accrued, policies can vary from one organization to another. In addition, most PTO policies include national and floating holidays, paid vacation days, paid family leave, and paid sick leave as well. A competitive PTO package can set an organization apart in the job market while boosting employee satisfaction and retention.
