Q&A With Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP Employees

Vacation, sick leave, and personal holidays are all bundled into one charge code of "PTO". A new staff employee will get 15 days of PTO during his\her first year, 20 days during his\her second year, 25 days during his\her third year, and 30 days beginning their fourth year onward. Up to 7 days of PTO can be carried over into a new calendar year, and if an employee has unused PTO at the end of the year (exceeding 7 days) those extra days are lost. So basically, there is a use-it-or-lose-it policy for any more than 7 days of PTO in a calendar year.

PTO, sick leave, personal holidays are all bundled here. 15 days of leave your first year, 20 in your second year, 25 in your 3rd year, 30 in your 4th year onwards.

Very efficient and respectful.
