A: Most companies use 8 hours as the standard full workday, making it the common conversion factor for PTO calculations.

Q2: What if my company uses a different workday length?
A: If your company uses a different standard (e.g., 7.5 or 9 hours), you would need to adjust the divisor accordingly.

Q3: How are partial days handled?
A: The calculator provides decimal results, so 4 hours would show as 0.5 days, representing half a day off.
