Am I old school and out of touch or pretty reasonable?

Probably should get some time off, even kids at In n Out get paid time off

Hourly employees?

Full time generally yes. Part time very seldom. Some employers keep

In N Out gives PT hourly employees PTO?

fattycoug

Yes this isn’t North Korea. Costco gives PTO also, Chipotle etc

SwanSong

Id bet most places that employ kids part time don't offer it.

I got PTO as an hourly PT employee while in college 20+ years ago.

Not for an hourly contract employee. Do you pay your plumber PTO?

I don't think Contract Employees typically get PTO...

You’ve never taken two consecutive weeks off in your career? I’m so sorry

another idea. accrue PTO with hours worked

I think this is fair even for contract work. He probably won’t accrue

Contract workers get paid for the work they do. That is it

Exactly. That’s the breaks for a contractor

If PTO isn't in his contract, then I would say no. Like others have said,

Kick him to the curb. Pour salt in his wound. He doesn’t deserve anything. He’s not a child of God worthy of treatment

Maybe he'd like a more permanent, salaried position. Do you want to keep him?

What do you mean by contract employee?

Rivers Cuomo

Jun 20, 5:09pm

If you're paying him as a 1099 contractor, giving PTO might create legal risk

This! Pay attention to this! Paying him PTO could cause you legal problems.

It's actually illegal as well in many cases. There's lots of laws around contract workers and dictating work and hours

He’s really asking - Am I worth it to you to treat me as an FTE (with benefits like PTO) in the future?

Agreed. I coown a business as well. If he is valuable then 2 wks pto is worth it

It's not his employee. It's a contract worker.
