My Time Off (MTO)
The My Time Off (MTO) program provides guidelines that give you the flexibility to take time off when you need it. In most cases, team members are eligible to participate in the MTO program upon hire.
The MTO program is made up of paid time off (PTO) and unlimited time off (UTO).
Paid time off (PTO)
Gen provides paid annual leave of 20 days.
Unlimited time off (UTO)
Once you have used your statutory PTO, you can request UTO. Even though time off is automatically approved in Workday, you should discuss your request with your people leader before submitting it in the system, so you can partner and plan accordingly.

You can find more information—including instructions to request time off—on Gen Central.
