What is Unlimited PTO?

A leave policy where employees aren't assigned a fixed number of paid vacation days per year, instead taking as much time off as they need with manager approval, provided their work responsibilities are met.

Why it matters in hiring

Unlimited PTO comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
