Time Away From Work

Paid Time Off

DriveTime recognizes that employees need time away from work to relax, recover, or re-energize without the added stress of unpaid leave.

Time Away from Work

We provide a competitive PTO program, designed with your wellbeing in mind. PTO can be used for vacation, illness, injury, and/or personal business. You will begin to accrue PTO upon your date of hire. PTO may be taken as soon as it is accrued, subject to approval of your supervisor. 

When taking time off, you must use available PTO time before taking time off without pay. The PTO accrual rate for an employee is based on the length of employment, with the rates being adjusted on the anniversary of the employee’s date of hire. All employees are eligible to roll over up to 80 hours of PTO to the next year. That means the remaining balances at the end of 2025 (up to 80 hours) will be available for use at the beginning of 2026.
