Wow! You've got range. What are EPC and PTO?

[komali2 → tomcam]

Apologies, I hate when people do that to me.

EPC means "engineering, procurement, and construction" company. So like, lyondell-basell or jacobs engineering or foster wheeler (now AMEC) or Mustang (not the car) or KBR.

PTO = Paid Time Off. Catchall for vacation time, sick time, holidays.

Ok, thanks. Work for myself so did not connect to PTO which should be obvious in retrospect

Perhaps "earning per click" and "paid time off."
