Not everyone can afford to donate money to help their struggling coworkers and favorite charities; but with PTO sharing benefits, employees can donate their vacation time.
“These programs are great for employee morale because employers that have these programs demonstrate great community stewardship,” says Tiffani Greene, employee benefits attorney at Fisher Phillips, a nation-wide employment law firm. “It’s natural that people want to donate to charity, or help out one of their peers, but it’s not always possible for them to donate out of pocket. It’s often easier to donate vacation because it’s employer-sponsored.”
