      Vacation ≠ pto and it’s strange to equate them. There’s various non paid ways to take a vacation, such as a(n intended) gap between jobs, unpaid additional leave, or on a 3 day weekend. There’s people working in my job with 6 and 7 weeks of pto that still take unpaid additional vacations.

        How are they taking unpaid vacations when they could be using PTO?

          They use all of their pto, as well as taking more. Also, management allows people to choose if they want to use pto when taking a day off. All unused pto pays out at the end of the year and raises are in October – wait to use it and it adds a dollar per pto hour

          I know people who are off even up to a third of the year

        Where do you live? Where I live, we call it Semester…

        Literally, the only place I have ever heard PTO used is in the US.
