Paid Time Off Management
Providing your employees with paid time off (PTO) is essential for maintaining a productive workforce and ensuring compliance with federal, state, and local laws. Whether they need time for medical appointments, caring for family, traveling, or simply relaxing at home, PTO allows employees to take necessary breaks while staying financially secure, ultimately benefiting both employee well-being and business performance.
A flexible PTO policy can boost productivity and job satisfaction among employees. In Zoho Payroll, you can set up comprehensive PTO policies, including sick leave and vacation leave, at both the organizational and individual employee levels. Start by configuring a default policy at the organizational level, which can then be customized for specific employees as needed.
