Paid Time Off (PTO) Policy
(OK)

Summary

This template is a paid time off policy for use in Oklahoma that grants employees paid time off from work for a variety of reasons in lieu of an individual vacation policy, sick leave policy, or personal leave policy. This template includes practical guidance, drafting notes, alternate clauses, and optional clauses. This template is intended for private employers in Oklahoma. Employers may include this policy in an employee handbook or distribute it as a standalone policy. It is similar to the non-jurisdictional Paid Time Off (PTO) Policy, except that the content addresses issues specific to Oklahoma.
