The yield-to-maturity (YTM) of a bond is another way of considering a bondâs price. YTM is the total return anticipated on a bond if the bond is held until the end of its lifetime. Yield to maturity is considered a long-term bond yield, but is expressed as an annual rate.
Getting paid instead of taking holidays. The only time someone can get paid in place of taking statutory leave (known as âpayment in lieuâ) is when they leave their job. Employers must pay for untaken statutory leave (even if the worker is dismissed for gross misconduct). If an employer offers more than 5.6 weeksâ annual leave, they can agree separate arrangements for the extra leave.
Paid time off is a bank of hours from which employees can draw. Employers credit additional hours to their employees banks, usually every pay period. Most US employers offer their workers 10 paid holidays, 2 weeks vacation, two personal days, and 8 sick leave days per year. Under a PTO plan, the employees would be credited with 30 days paid time off instead (10+10+2+8).
