Why it's not just about an Unlimited PTO Policy

Offering unlimited PTO affects more than just your time-off policy—it impacts nearly every aspect of your business, from attendance expectations to performance management, termination procedures, and compliance with employment standards. That’s why we’ve created an employee handbook that coordinates all policies—not just PTO—ensuring a consistent, legally sound framework for your entire organization.

Policies do not live in a vacuum. They must be written to align with one another. Rather than treating unlimited PTO as a standalone policy, this handbook aligns it with vacation pay laws, legislated leaves, disciplinary procedures, and workplace expectations. Every policy is carefully written to work together, preventing contradictions, compliance risks, or gaps that could lead to confusion or disputes.

With this fully integrated handbook, you get a cohesive, structured approach that protects your business while offering employees the flexibility they value.
