There are two ways your team members can earn or receive Paid Time Off (PTO). You can provide your team member an allowance of PTO hours or days to use throughout the year, either upon hire or after a certain length of employment. They can also earn (accrue) PTO each pay period based on the hours they work. The benefit of PTO varies between agencies, so the great thing about FrontRunner is that you can easily customize how you set up PTO in your account.
How to Set Up PTO Categories:
- Go to Agency Set Up
- Click on Step 2: Management Options
- In the section titled Team Members, click on Manage PTO Categories
- In the PTO Categories box, name the PTO type (for example, Vacation, Sick, Personal, etc.) and click on the orange Save PTO Category button.
- Continue adding PTO categories until all of your PTO types have been created, then click Close.
How to Assign PTO to a Team Member
Once you have your PTO categories created, you will be able to assign and edit the PTO time for team members. There are two ways to access and update this info:
