Right, PTO is compensation.

I always make sure I end the year with a zero PTO balance (no rollover) and I make sure that I encourage my employees to do the same.

Depending on the company, that's not great advice. At my company you cannot take PTO until you accrue it, so if you end the year with 0, then you can't take anything for a while until you accumulate enough time.
