  • Independence Day

  • Labor Day

  • Thanksgiving Day

  • Day After Thanksgiving

  • Christmas Eve (1/2 Day)

Paid Time Off (PTO)

Mott MacDonald provides PTO for you to use however is best for you and your family (for example, PTO may be used for vacation, due to illness, personal appointments, etc.). PTO for regular full-time employees is based on length of service with the company. Regular part-time employees accrue PTO on a prorated basis.

Paid Time Off
Years of Employment Amount of Paid Time off
First year of employment Up to 15 days, prorated by hire date
0 to 4 years 15 days
5 to 9 years 20 days
10+ years 25 days

When PTO balances reach 35 days (prorated for part-time employees), PTO ceases to accrue until the balance has dropped below 35 days. Employees are paid for accrued but unused PTO as of the date of your separation, but may not be used to extend an employee’s last day of employment. Available year-to-date PTO is included on Mott MacDonald paystubs. To view your PTO inclusive of the entire calendar year, go to Connect Business. Your pay stub, on the other hand, shows your current or YTD PTO balance.
