My company gave us two options if we accept the 5.5% low pay raise which is from 7.5% or get extra 40 hours PTO for next year? Please help me?

As for me I deal with union’s & contracts on a yearly basis & when it comes to a raise a raise is better than not having one at all & in the long run the raise will workout better & you can always negotiate for another raise down the road.

1. How about a 6.5% raise with 20 hours of PTO?

2. How about a 6% raise with 30 hours PTO?

If employees have split days off negotiate for two days off back to back & make that a part of the deal.

How much do you make an hour currently?

Only you can decide how much that extra PTO is worth. Keep in mind that if you take the extra 2% it will be after tax.

I guess my question is how good are they at granting PTO? Some companies boast about how much PTO they offer but then someone requests a vacation and they don't find out if it's approved soon enough to make travel plans.

That is a crappy deal, but I would take the pay rise.
