Not using all your vacation days is basically the same as telling your boss to burn up your next paycheck. Vacation is something that is part of your overall compensation. Take full advantage of it and remember there is more to life than your job. 53% of Americans won't use all their vacation days this year according to a recent study by Expedia. The most cited reason is because, "life is too busy to plan or go on vacation". Please don't let this be you. Prioritize your vacations and time to yourself the same way (if not MUCH more so) as you do your work. A lot of companies are switching from PTO to flexible time off. On the surface this is great because it empowers the employees to not be confined to a restrictive vacation policy. But the reality is the exact opposite happens. Many studies show that unlimited time off results in employees taking LESS vacation than if they had PTO. So, it benefits companies at the expense of employees. PFC (and Nectarine!) have an unlimited vacation policy, but we take it one step further. It is required that we take one week off per quarter at a minimum. That way, we get the best of both worlds. The upside of not having to carefully allot our vacation days, but also not the downside of taking less vacation. As always, reminding you to build wealth by following the two PFC rules: 1.) Live below your means and 2.) Invest early and often. #money #vacation #timeoff #travel #hr #business

Do you know that skipping your vacation days is like giving up a part of your paycheck? 🌴✨ Vacation is a crucial part of your overall compensation—make sure you’re making the most of it. According to a recent Expedia study, 53% of Americans won’t use all their vacation days this year, often because they feel "too busy to plan or go on vacation." It’s essential to prioritize your time off just as much as your work. While many companies are moving towards flexible time off policies, studies show this can lead to employees taking even less vacation. Remember, part of building wealth is about living below your means and investing early and often. Don’t forget to take the time to recharge and enjoy life! 🌟 #WorkLifeBalance #VacationDays #FinancialWellness #EmployeeWellbeing #InvestInYourself #FinWell360

PTO hack for 50 DAYS OFF in 2024. The plan below optimizes 15 vacation days and 4 personal days for the maximum number of days off in a row for the USA holiday calendar. It features 18 days off exclusively during summer months June-Sept. Remember to take personal days off before vacation days. And take them early. Why? Often, if you were to leave a company before the end of the year, you can only be paid for unused vacation days, not personal days. Don't forget to take your birthday off and do something fabulous to celebrate life! Hope this helps you obtain #WorkLifeBalance in 2024! 😊 #PTOhack #Timeoff

As business owners and managers, we can sometimes lose sight of the recharge that time off can produce. Here's an article on the benefits of encouraging your employees to take vacation days. As PTO is already accounted for, this costs you nothing! #Paidtimeoff #vacationtime #employeeburnout https://loom.ly/aHneiHg
