Microsoft Employees Are Getting Unlimited Time Off 151

Posted by BeauHD from the sounds-good-in-theory dept.
In a memo seen by The Verge, Microsoft's chief people officer, Kathleen Hogan, announced that the company is giving its U.S. employees unlimited time off. "Microsoft is calling its unlimited time off 'Discretionary Time Off,' and it will apply to all salaried U.S. employees," adds The Verge. From the report: The changes will start on January 16th and mean even new Microsoft employees don't need to wait to accrue vacation time anymore. Microsoft will offer 10 corporate holidays, leaves of absence, sick and mental heath time off, and time away for jury duty or bereavement alongside this new unlimited time off policy. Employees that have an unused vacation balance will get a one-time payout in April.

Hourly workers at Microsoft won't be offered the unlimited time off, nor will employees outside the US. Microsoft says federal and state wage and hour laws make it difficult to offer unlimited time off to hourly workers, and those outside the US will keep their current vacation benefits because of different laws and regulations in other countries.

      No "time off" means the company does not have to legally accrue and hold in reserve every outstanding PTO hour due to every employee.

      Gut feeling this has fuck-all to do with offering the employees a gift horse, and everything to do with what the corporation has to hold in minimum reserve to cover legally obligated debts. "Unlimited" is rather hard to put on a ledger, so the number becomes essentially zero.

        They save money because now they don't have to pay out unused vacation for employees when they leave. That's a big savings, and they got it for free because they are not likely to approve more PTO than what was original being offered (3-4 or so weeks).

        • It's worse than you think. Unused accrued entitlements scale with grade and pay. If you have an employee with 50 days off accrued, and that employee gets promoted and a 25% pay increase, you now on the hook for 25% higher costs on those leave days. That really starts to bite across the corporate portfolio, and there's a reason a lot companies where it is allowed have limits to how long entitlements are valid (and they typically expire before the pay review cycle).

        • Why do they have to pay out unused vacation? I've never left a job and got paid for my unused vacation days.

        Having PTO doesnt mean you dont need manager approval to take vacation. All this really changes is that it allows you to take a longer vacation during a lean period in the project even if you havnt accrued the days. During crunch times your leave is not going to get approved regardless of whther you have accrued PTO or unlimited. Thats the benefit to employee. Benefit to employer is they no longer need to pay cash at the end of year for PTO accrued beyond cap.

      My employer offers unlimited time off. I've never had an issue getting approved.

      I generally don't really ask for time off, though. I inform my supervisor I am taking time off to give them an opportunity to bring up any issues in scheduling. The "approval" is just a digital record of the schedule.

      "Unlimited time off" usually ends up meaning less time off. If you have a fixed number of days off, there's no guilt about using them. When you go on vacation, people don't think you're lazy. You're just using the days you've accrued. With unlimited time off, you have to second guess whether you're taking too much time off. Does it look bad? Is everyone noticing you're out and thinking you're lazy? How much time off is everyone else taking? Will you lose a promotion if you take more time off than someone else?

      The result is people taking less time off. It's great for the company. They get to look generous at the same time they're making people work harder.

    • Unlimited time off has been shown to be bad for employee and employer.

      Studies show that people take LESS vacation time when offered "unlimited". No one wants to be the person others think is using too much and abusing it. At least with a set number of vacation days, that's not the case, as you're only taken what you've been explicitly given.

      This is being done for two reasons:
      1. 1) for employees in California, accrued / unused PTO must be paid out when the employee departs.
      2. 2) accrued PTO is a liability that must be reported as such on the balance sheet and income statement (which makes sense under #1, given that it must be paid out, but it was recorded as a liability even before the California law).

      By going to unlimited PTO, there is no more accrual, so there is no more liability and no payouts when people leave.

      • I worked at a company where you were alloted all your PTO for the year on Jan 1st. There was no accrual and no rollover to the next year.

        Yet they still had a line in the company handbook about how all "accrued PTO will be paid out upon termination." I imagine that semantic trick was a nasty surprise to many outgoing employees who'd been saying their vacation time for the holidays, especially the few who had actually read the policies.

      • In CA, accrued vacation has a value at hourly rate. Is MS going to pay that to CA employees when this new deal starts? If not, CA employees should book and start that vacation now before the changeover date because it is their entitlement.

    • Besides the lack of transparency into what others are getting (similar to salary) . . .

      1. Most probably read "unlimited" as no maximum, but I suspect it more likely means there's no minimum anymore.

      2. If you're not accruing vacation anymore, there'll be nothing to "payout" when you're terminated.

For the 3 month cycle it would be super easy, PM will simply not count you in for that release.

The purpose of this change is for companies to legally avoid paying you for your owed vacation when you leave as it is legally now "no longer owed".

I miss my use it or lose it excuse to take vacation days.

    Now I have nothing to lose and therefore nothing to gain.

    Everyone used to have the same amount of vacation. Now 20% of people take 60% of the vacation, those with trust funds and no families to provide for (where unemployment is less scary) get it all, with the rest of us left holding our nutsacks and getting up when the alarm sounds.

    It is very hard to take just the right amount of vacation, so if you have to err, it will surely be to the low side.

    Fuck unlimited vacation with a sharp stick. After 2 years with it, Iâ(TM)ve never had fewer days off, and I also will not get the payout when I leave.

    Not a fan.

  • Unlimited time off means no time off. With no finance PTO on the books it means no need to incentivize it from management.

  • This is *NOT* offering employees "unlimited time off". My company has this, we call it "balanced time away". Instead this is a flexible policy where managers work with their underlings to decide what is an appropriate time off and when.

    Ideally, it could be quite beneficial, for instance, if you work really extra hard for a few weeks to make a delivery, and the manager can recognize that and reward it by agreeing to some additional time off to celebrate and recover. Or if family stress outside of work mou

    • Yeah, going from 'this is what you're entitled to as part of your job' to 'you need to ask for, and justify, taking time off' seems like a terrible idea.

  • ... every employee in Germany already has that. Sick days are not vacation therefore they are not part of the contract. They are regulated by laws not contracts. Companies have to fully pay during the first 6 weeks of any sickness, after that the health insurance company has to pay. This is per illness not per year. Also obviously you cannot be fired for being ill.

    Days off are vacation days, and by law you have to get at least 20 of them per year (for a full time job). Most companies have 30 days, and they

  • Cost savings. That's the only reason they're doing this. It looks like a perk, but should you leave for another job, you don't get the PTO payout.

  • Its a trap! (Score:3)

    My company offers the same thing, but last year, when I took 3 separate vacations totaling 4 weeks in one year period, my manager said that i was taking too much time.

    I reminded her that before the "unlimited" moniker was used, I already had 5 weeks per year due to the time I have been working at the company.

    Havent heard a bit from her.

  • As said by others, unlimited time off effectively means no time off. Your supervisor will approve the occasional vacation, but you try to get more than that and it's a pain and 'conversations.'
