Paid Time Off

Paid Time Off

The Paid Time Off section within Site Settings will determine if your agency gives caregivers paid time off and pay as well as the specifics of that leave and pay. To set up your agency's Paid Time Off system follow the instructions below.
​
  1. Navigate to the Site Settings either through the Site Settings quicklink on the mainpage or through Menu>Settings>Site Settings. After you are in the Site Settings scroll down to the Paid Time Off section
  2. The first thing the form will ask of you is whether you would like to enable or disable paid time off. Enabling it would entail that you will pay your caregivers for time they take off within the limits of what you have set. If paid time off is disabled, you will not have anything else to do within this form, you may save and exit.
  3. If you have enabled paid time off, there are several fields to consider. You will need to fill out a variety of fields containing information about minimum annual workdays required for PTO, how many hours of work accrue x hours of PTO, various caps on PTO time, and minimum annual number of workdays required for PTO. All of these fields have an i icon above them that can be hovered over with the mouse to learn more about the field.
  4. Once you have filled out all of the settings to your liking, click the “Save Settings” button in the bottom right to save them.
NOTE: Some states have laws regarding paid time off. Consult your state’s laws before filling out this form to ensure you are following the correct laws and standards.
