SUBJECT: Mandatory Vacation Policy Effective January 1 As I hold exit interviews with departing consultants, l've been troubled by how many of our employees have failed to take all of their vacation time. Our average consultant has 33 days of accumulated PTO. While I understand many of the pressures many of you feel to stay working and keep commitments to our clients, this amount of unused vacation time is unacceptable. Research unconvincingly shows that employees who use more vacation time are happier and more productive at work. I have been reviewing this matter with the HR team for months. I have come to the firm conclusion that our firm needs a change in policy that incentivizes you employees to take time off so that you are more productive when you're here in the workplace. Beginning on January 1, 2016, employees with fewer than 10 years of employment at the firm will receive 15 days of vacation per year, and employees with more than 10 years of employment will receive 20 days of vacation per year. The amount of roll-over and cash payouts will be dramatically reduced. Employees can only roll over a maximum of 5 days per year and cannot accumulate more than 30 total days of vacation. Employees will no longer gain cash pay-outs from unused PTO days after January 1, 2016. On January 1, 2016, the firm will give employees cash pay-outs for all accumulated PTO vacation days. I will hold town hall meetings on November 2 and November 11 to tell you about the changes in more detail and explain how they help you out. Ruth Rewrite the message to Improve its tone and more adequately make an announce the changes. Make sure to briefly mention the rationale for the changes and explain the impacts on employees
