Employers are increasingly looking for ways to attract and retain the best talent in consultation with their advisers. One approach that is gaining momentum is shifting from accrued paid time off, which allows employees to earn PTO over time, to unlimited time off. But the transition isn’t always a smooth one.

According to a recent report from The Wall Street Journal, starting salaries and annual pay raises for existing employees are growing at their fastest pace in 25 years. And while cash may be king, employers are also experimenting with nontraditional policies — including unlimited time off — to gain a competitive edge.
