How's the vacation policy at Bio-Rad Laboratories?

vacation policy at Bio-Rad Laboratories for new hires is Stingy at 3 weeks (10 days vaca + 5 days sick) all rolled into a paid time off PTO bank. Initial rate is stingy. One additional day is added per year, up to year 6. At year 6, the PTO is at 4 weeks, and there is no additional day added. That is it. On the accrual side, max cap of 400 hours of hired before a certain date. New hires have a cap of 200 (or 210) hours. Then accruals stop. You Just stop earning more hours. That doesn't seem legal. And yet, there it is. You can NOT sell PTO hours back to the company, despite periods where BR will not allow PTO usage, and you have a full accrual bank. Many have lost PTO. Also doesn't seem legal. A few managers have allowed "off-book" retroactive time off when projects clear. There is a firm policy of NO comp time. Zero Nada. For exempt employees who work 2 shifts, weekends, holidays, there is NO comp time. Shame on U. If you value time off. move along. this isn't the place for you.
