Remote jobs that match you

We'll send you your matches each week plus Work is a Verb, our weekly newsletter with remote work news and advice for landing your next remote role.

The thing that separates a good unlimited PTO policy from a bad one is whether you can actually take it. When management leads by example, people feel comfortable disconnecting and the rest of the team follows. When they don't, "unlimited" quietly becomes "less than you'd get with a fixed policy."

These 30 companies are all classified Fully Remote or Remote-First, carry a REMOTE Score of 80 or higher, and have at least one role open right now. They're ranked by REMOTE Score, highest first. Where a company publishes a number — a minimum it requires, or a target it recommends — the entry quotes it, because that number is the whole difference between a policy and a practice. If the usage problem worries you, some employers solve it structurally — see our list of remote companies with paid company-wide shutdowns, where everyone disconnects at once.

How We Ranked These Companies

Every company here comes from Remotivated's hand-reviewed set and clears four filters. It must be classified Fully Remote or Remote-First under our five-tier work model system — the two tiers where distributed work is the default rather than a concession. It must carry a verified REMOTE Score of 80 or higher, a 0-100 rating calculated across six dimensions: Retention, Engagement, Mobility, Operations, Technology, and Equity. It must have unlimited, flexible, or open PTO recorded from the company's own published sources, not a recruiter's phrasing or a job-board tag. And it must have at least one role open right now — a company with nothing to apply to doesn't make the list.

Companies are ranked by REMOTE Score, highest first, and the page shows the top 30. One thing the ranking deliberately does not do is reward the word "unlimited" on its own. In the REMOTE Score, an unlimited policy with no published floor is credited below a fixed 20-day allowance and above a fixed 11-to-19-day one, and it can't stack with a fixed day count — a company gets credit for one or the other, never both. Publishing a minimum is what moves the number, and it's scored separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do people actually take less time off under unlimited PTO?
The most-cited evidence says yes, and it is older than most people quoting it realize. Namely's 2017 HR Mythbusters report, drawing on data from roughly 125,000 employees, found workers on unlimited plans took 13 days off a year against 15 for those on traditional accrual plans. That two-day gap is the origin of nearly every "unlimited PTO is a scam" post you have read. The less-quoted follow-up matters more: when Namely re-ran the analysis across its client base in 2022, unlimited-plan employees took 12.09 days and limited-plan employees took 11.36 — the gap had closed and slightly reversed, with both groups taking less time overall. The honest read is that the policy label predicts very little on its own. What predicts time actually taken is whether the company attaches a number to it, and whether leaders visibly use it.
Which companies on this list publish a minimum you are expected to take?
A minority of them, which is exactly why we show it. PostHog requires a 25-day minimum. GitLab publishes a 25-day vacation guideline under a no-ask-must-tell policy. Zapier reports most employees take around 25 days. Customer.io recommends at least 20 vacation days on top of holidays and sick days. Ashby and Help Scout both point to roughly four weeks. Mapbox encourages a minimum of three weeks. Mercury enforces a mandatory minimum but does not publish the day count. The rest describe an uncapped policy without attaching a number to it, which is not automatically a red flag — but it does mean you are relying on the culture rather than a stated floor. Each entry below quotes the company's own language so you can tell which kind you are looking at before you apply.
Do you get paid out for unused time when you leave?
Usually not, and it is one of the real trade-offs. Under a traditional accrual policy, unused vacation is treated as earned wages in states like California, where Labor Code section 227.3 requires it to be paid out at separation. Under a genuinely unlimited policy there is nothing to accrue, so there is usually nothing to pay out. The California Court of Appeal addressed this for the first time in McPherson v. EF Intercultural Affairs in 2020, and the exception it carved out is instructive: that employer still owed a payout because its unlimited policy was unwritten, was not unlimited in practice, and was never actually communicated to employees as unlimited. Properly written and clearly communicated policies were left intact. Rules vary by state and this is general information rather than legal advice, but the shape of the trade is worth knowing: you are exchanging a cash-out at exit for flexibility during the job.
Is unlimited PTO better or worse than a generous fixed allowance?
It depends almost entirely on the company culture, not the policy wording. A fixed allowance of 25 days at a company that expects you to use all of it will typically deliver more actual rest than unlimited PTO at a company where no senior leader visibly takes more than two weeks. The practical signals to look for are published minimums, mandatory company-wide shutdowns, and leadership that demonstrates the policy in practice. This list filters for companies where the broader cultural indicators point in the right direction, but the policy itself is never sufficient evidence on its own.
How does Remotivated's REMOTE Score treat unlimited PTO?
Cautiously, on purpose. An unlimited or flexible policy with no published floor is credited at a fixed value in the time-off portion of the score, placed below a fixed 20-to-24-day allowance and above a fixed 11-to-19-day one. It cannot stack with a fixed day count; a company gets credit for one or the other, never both. What moves the number is a published minimum — when a company states a floor that employees are expected or required to take, that is scored separately and on a sliding scale, so a 25-day minimum earns materially more than a 15-day one. The design is deliberate: the score rewards the number, not the adjective.
Does unlimited PTO affect total compensation comparisons?
It can, especially if you are comparing offers. When benchmarking compensation, a fixed 20-day PTO policy has a calculable dollar value based on your daily rate. Unlimited PTO has no such floor, which makes direct comparisons harder, and in most cases it carries no payout at separation either. If you are evaluating an offer with unlimited PTO against one with a fixed allowance, it is reasonable to ask the hiring team what the average or typical days taken looked like across the team last year. Companies with healthy cultures usually have an honest answer.
