The hiring market is heating up—as a result, many HR professionals are looking for cost-effective ways to attain a competitive edge. Many are also exploring strategies for lowering absenteeism while minimizing a negative impact on the workforce.
Paid Time-Off (PTO) – a plan that combines all time off (sick days, vacation, personal days, floating holidays, etc.) into one “bank” that employees can use as they like—with a few restrictions provide a solution to these various challenges. While PTO and Free Time-Off (FTO) plans offer advantages for both employers and employees, they also come with their share of challenges.
In this practical webinar, you will receive a detailed overview of PTO and FTO and best practices regarding these programs.
Upon course completion, you will be able to:
- Identify what Paid Time Off (PTO) and Free Time Off (FTO) can do (and what they can’t)
- Evaluate the positives and negatives of PTO/FTO and determine the potential impact to your organization
- Perform a financial impact review of a change to a PTO plan
- Integrate PTO with other organizational policies (STD, LTD, FMLA, Cash-Out, Carryover and Donation Leave Banks), as well as evaluate potential Compliance issues
- Communicate the benefits of the policy

What is a webinar?
A webinar is simply a seminar that you attend online. You either watch a live video feed of the speaker or listen to the speaker through your computer, tablet or phone’s audio. You see the speaker’s slides, videos, and other presentation materials on your screen.
Can I ask questions during the webinar?
Yes. During the live webinar, you may submit questions and comments and the speaker will respond verbally. For a recorded webinar, your questions will be emailed to the speaker. You will typically receive a response from the speaker within two business days.
Can I attend using a tablet or smartphone?
Yes. You may attend a webinar using a computer, tablet or smartphone.
If I can’t attend a webinar live, can I view the recording later?
Yes. Shortly after each live program ends, we send all webinar registrants a link to the webinar recording. You can view the recording as many times as you like after the live webinar for up to 12 months.
What is an on-demand webinar?
An on-demand webinar is a previously recorded webinar that you may view at any time after your purchase for up to 12 months.
Can I stop a recorded webinar and start it later at the same point?
