I was always told you can't carry over more than 40 hours.
You can only take 40 hours worth of PTO into the new year. - nm

Calif does not allow any unused PTO to be taken away - must be carried over.
I can verify this. - Another CA resident

I have currently saved up 100+ hours of leave, and that would not have been possible if I could only carry 40 hours of leave over every year.
I believe there are 4 other states besides CA in which use-it-or-lose-it leave is banned.
In fact, one small step to make MT's (and other workers) lives more endurable would be to organize in states that permit use-it-or-lose-it to outlaw this unfair practice.
That is a great idea. - How do you do that?

I hate having to lose my time. My husbands company does that also. It sucks.

Is there a certain date in 2013 that we have to use our carry-over by? In other words, do we have to use it by the end of first quarter, pay period, whatever?
my ccm just sent an email about that, however, - it never was the case before, so

I am not sure they can just change the rules without something in writing.
I have never had to use rolled over PTO before a certain date in the past.

Have You Ever Been Told This And If So------ Apr 09, 2010what would you do about it. My TL repeatedly tells us to get off the system when the work volume is low because we are taking food out of other MTs mouths because they cannot feed their families or pay their bills because they need to get at least 20,000 lines per pay, but they cannot do that if we stay on the system,and we need to have compassion for them and get off the system so the ones who need it the most can pay their bills. Even if our line count is not met, they need i ...

His office wanted me to do something for them and I propose charging them (not him) $25/hour. He told me I had undercut myself and was worth more. :) This was something they need to take care of internally and he told me he will tell them not t ...
