I thought I got 80 hours (10 days) of PTO, but my boss just told me that I only get 40 hours (5 days) because I “only” have been at my job for 1 year. This includes sick days, so if I take 3 sick days, it counts as 24/40 hours. On my 2-year anniversary, it goes up to 80 hours, and after 7 YEARS, it goes up to 120 hours (sick days are also included in these).
If we don’t use our PTO, it’s forfeited. It doesn’t roll over.
Paid maternity/extended leave isn't offered. “Under certain circumstances” we can take 6 weeks of unpaid leave if it’s approved by management.
And we get 5 paid holidays – New Years Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.
I’m getting surgery in early 2023 and I'm stressed. My doctor recommends taking 10-14 days off work. But I'll only have 5 PTO days. So I either have to return to work too soon, or not get paid and not take any other vacation/sick days for the entire year because I won't have any left.
