    We are a small startup and I have the task of setting up a sick policy.

    I am curious to see what people are doing

    Sick and Personal time independent, if so is the amount of sick time different with each level of management I:E Associate vs Manager vs VP

    PTO - lump it all together?

    And what is procedure? Call Hr? Call your boss?

    I would love to hear what everyone thinks...

      Our company currently employs around 196 employees and we have found a PTO policy to be beneficial. It not only allows for sick days, but also allows those employees who take minimal sick days to have more time for vacation or personal leave.

      Our call in procedure revolves around the employee calling their manager at least 15 minutes before their shift is to start.

      Whatever you do, make sure you keep tabs on this bill:

      We utilize PTO for everything for non-exempt employees. Employees are required to phone in to the call out line.
