companies that have unlimited leave policies- does it apply to interns too?

Thanks for asking Albus
The application of unlimited leave policies to interns can vary greatly depending on the company. Some companies may extend their unlimited leave policies to interns, while others may not. This is often because internships are typically short-term positions, and the goal is to maximize the learning and experience gained during this period. However, it's important to note that even in companies with unlimited leave policies, there are usually guidelines and expectations in place to ensure that this benefit is not abused and that work responsibilities are still met. If you're considering an internship at a company with an unlimited leave policy, I would recommend directly asking the HR representative or your potential supervisor about the company's policy for interns. This will give you the most accurate and specific information.

For interns ,leaves are subject to approval of person they’re working with on day to day

In most of the cases , Yes it does..However few organizations limit leaves for interns to 1-2 days in a month given the short duration of stay.

At Headout, there's no difference between the unlimited leave policy regardless of type of employment. However, as Jigyasa and Rohit mentioned, some companies might want to add either a prior approval layer or limit the number of leaves per month

we have UTO but its only applicable to FTEs. Interns have 2 days of leave a month & its mentioned in their offer letter.

Generally, with unlimited PTOs, it is similar applicability for anyone who is on-roles with the company. Adding to it, it differs when it come to off-role staff.

In the companies that I have supported, no, this does not apply to interns because they are not benefits eligible. In many states it may be a requirement to accrue sick leave regardless of their status as a temporary employee
