What is commonly referred to as a paid time off that employees receive when they are not working?

The term "Paid Time Off (PTO)" encompasses various types of leave that employees receive while still being compensated, allowing them to take time away from work without a loss of income. This can include vacation days, personal time, and sometimes even sick days, all bundled into one policy. It provides flexibility to employees, enabling them to manage their time off according to their personal needs, be it for leisure, health, or personal obligations.

Regarding the other options, while Annual Leave and Sick Leave are specific types of paid time off, they do not cover the full range of paid time away from work like PTO does. Personal Time Off is akin to PTO, but naming it "Paid Time Off" suggests a more inclusive and commonly recognized term within workplace policies.
