This page is often being erroneously internally linked when the page "paid leave" would be more appropriate, as "paid time off" is used as a colloquial term for paid leave in many countries. This is causing confusion in various employment law/entitlement related pages. I'm relatively new so seek suggestions to improve this issue, however suggest a heading change to clarify the scope of this article is warranted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Equal Inequity (talk • contribs) 14:59, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
Would be interesting to know more about the history of paid time off. Did it exist before the 20th century? BV
I've worked for more than 30 years for UK, USA & German companies. I first came across the usage of PTO with a US company in 2021. I'm curious as to whether this originated in the USA and how many countries is it used in now, especially since USA-developed software has become prevalent in HR (SAP SuccessFactors, Oracle and Workday).
I am a student at Clemson University working as part of the APS Wikipedia Initiative. I will be working on editing/adding content to this article in the near future. I ask for your constructive feedback to help make this article more comprehensive. Thanks, Gwhodge (talk) 22:14, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
Will be uploading new content to this article by the end of this week. I have looked in to the history of PTO, BV, and it appears that it wasn't common in the workplace until about 15 years ago. I will be adding information about the history, benefits, disadvantages, cultural differences, and differences in the United States.Gwhodge (talk) 14:14, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
I think this article is about a practice that is only common in the US but it doesn't make that clear. I haven't come across PTO anywhere but in the US. For example, the UK has statutory sick pay and, typically, 4-5 weeks of paid vacation time. There's a lot of unqualified statements that don't say which countries it's common in. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fasaxc (talk • contribs) 22:00, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
