Unlimited PTO
As a small museum who can't offer health insurance, we are looking for other benefits we can offer employees. For a while we have followed a fairly standard PTO policy where sick & holiday & PTO were bundled together with an average year allowance starting at 2 weeks and going up from there. Because of both the seasonal nature of some of our positions and the recognition of the importance of work-life balance, we are thinking of switching to an unlimited PTO policy.

We have a tight timeline for the application, so appreciate if you could share this detail, so we can follow up in the next few days. Thanks!
