    Is the extra 8 weeks of long service PTO independent of the position you hold at a company?

      Yeah, it’s standard for everyone. Even people working part time get it, pro-rated. For example, if you work 50% of the hours compared to a full-time position, you accrue 50% of the long service leave.

        That’s pretty cool. Wish Canada would follow a similar mandate.

        Here it’s federally mandated 10 days of PTO + 8-10 days of holidays depending on province (xmas etc). Above this it’s 3 days of paid sick days.

        In practice a lot of companies offer 15 days and an extra 5 days per five years of tenure. However this is not federally or provincially mandated and is not something that is transferable if you change companies.
