Voluntary Time Off (VTO) Clause Samples
The Voluntary Time Off (VTO) clause allows employees to take unpaid leave from work at their own request, subject to employer approval. Typically, this provision outlines the process for requesting VTO, any limitations on the amount or timing of leave, and how such absences affect benefits or job status. Its core function is to provide flexibility for employees to manage personal needs without pay, while enabling employers to control staffing levels and operational costs.
