What are some T-Mobile PTO strategies?
It may make sense to plan PTO:
Scheduling ahead prioritizes it!
Taking time off when others do as well could help PTO feel less like “get behind days.”
Paid Time Off is generally use it or lose it:
80 hours can usually be rolled over to the next year.
However, that’s dropped to as low as 40 hours and grown to as much as 120 hours in the past.
Unused PTO is paid out to employees upon termination should they leave T-Mobile.
T-Mobile’s benefits are robust.
Two Options
There are essentially two options for scheduling Paid Time Off:
Wait and see.
Book it early.
Scheduling PTO early can:
call dibs,
lower costs,
include more people,
and lower the odds of donating it to stockholders.
