Employers should not ignore PTO usage, as usage rates can have implications on the
health and happiness of employees as well as business performance. Not taking PTO can take
a physical and emotional toll on workers, such that employers whose employees take little
PTO run the risk of unhappy and unproductive workers. In contrast, well-rested and
recharged employees may view their workplace more positively, and high employee morale
undoubtedly has a positive impact on the workplace, company culture, and the bottom line.
Moreover, the cash value of accrued PTO can be a detriment to a cash-strapped employer in
states that do not allow employers to zero out balances at the end of the year.
