Negative PTO Balance
When an employee uses more leave than they've accrued.
Definition
A negative PTO balance occurs when an employee takes more paid time off than they have accrued or been allocated. This typically happens with front-loaded PTO or when an employer advances leave. Policies should address whether negative balances are allowed, repayment terms, and what happens at termination.
