As vacation season rolls in across Ohio, there’s one topic on the minds of many employers and employees alike: paid time off. At Andres O’Neil & Lowe, we know that benefits aren’t just boxes to check—they’re key to building a healthy, high-performing workplace. And few benefits are more valuable (or more appreciated) than paid leave.
If you’re a business owner, now is the perfect time to check in on your paid time off policies. Offering a clear, thoughtful approach to paid leave can make a big difference in how your team performs—and how long they stay. Offering the right benefits can protect your business and empower your team.
Paid Time Off: More Than Just a Perk
Let’s face it—burnout is real. When employees don’t have the space to rest, recharge, and take care of life outside of work, everyone feels it. Productivity slips, morale dips, and turnover creeps in.
Offering paid leave isn’t just generous—it’s a strategic advantage. It helps you:
· Attract top-tier talent
· Show employees that you value their time and well-being
· Create a culture of trust, balance, and loyalty
· Improve employee morale and performance
· Stay competitive in a tight labor market
· Reduce turnover and absenteeism
With workers increasingly prioritizing work-life balance, offering paid vacation is no longer optional—it’s essential.
Avoid the Guesswork, Avoid the Risk
We’ve worked with local employers across Northwest Ohio and beyond who care deeply about their people—but haven’t always had the right tools to support them. That’s where we come in.
Without a clear, consistent PTO policy, your business may be more vulnerable than you think. A lack of structure can lead to misunderstandings, dissatisfied employees, liability issues, and compliance problems—especially as labor laws continue to evolve. The good news? You don’t have to tackle it alone.
At AOL, we help businesses of all sizes stay ahead of the curve by ensuring their employee benefits packages—including paid time off—are structured for compliance, competitiveness, and care.
