Guidance for Remote Team Members (RTMs) on how PTO and holidays are handled when working through VPM Solutions.
Overview
VPM Solutions does not automatically track Paid Time Off (PTO) or holiday pay to Remote Team Members. As independent contractors, any time off—whether paid or unpaid—must be coordinated directly with the company you are currently working with.
Key Points:
-
No Automatic PTO or Holiday Pay
Remote Team Members on VPM Solutions are independent contractors and do not receive built-in PTO or holiday benefits. Compensation is based on hours logged or approved one-time payments. -
Coordinated With the Company You Work With
Any agreement regarding paid time off or holiday compensation must be made directly with your current company. -
Document Any PTO Agreements
If you and your company agree on PTO or holiday pay, be sure it’s clearly documented in writing. -
Unpaid Time Off
If you take time off and do not log hours, you will not be paid unless your company issues a one-time payment to cover that period.
