Updated Oct. 2023! In 2021, because of challenges presented by the COVD-19 pandemic, we announced an increase of the maximum PTO balance for 2022 and 2023 with no change to the rate of accrual. In 2024, the PTO maximum accrual limits will remain at current (2023) maximum limits. The maximum amount of PTO accrual for 2025 will revert to pre-pandemic levels, with the per pay period accrual rates remaining the same.
