I am not sure the Oxy folks came out as well as one might think. In he past we could carryover 296 hours, or around that. It was good to have in case of health or needing more time off for things. We might of picked up a week extra on vacation, but most likely now all sick time, kids stuff, dental and medical appointments will have to be tracked by the hour. As it is you could be sick a few days and times a year without it costing you PTO. All in all it is still a very nice policy, but I am not sold that it was any better than what we had before. As it stands I have 240 hours on the books now and it feels good to know I have that cushion. I am happy to get what I get before and after because I am very lucky as far as PTO goes. To me I just did not see why Oxy needed to change a good policy that was in place.
