On December 19th 2022, my company suddenly announced that
“Hi Team,
In an effort to allow everyone to enjoy time with friends and family, XYZ will be closing the office the week of December 26-30th. Since New Year's Day is on a weekend, we will observe on Monday, January 2nd returning to the office on January 3rd. Enjoy your extra time off.”
Although it was last minute notice and I have no plan, I was still happy.
One month later, everyone found their PTO was deducted by 48 hours in the February check. Asking the boss, he said because the company was shut down in the Christmas week so PTO balance was adjusted.
My question is, is this legal? If not, how can I get my PTO hours back?
Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated.
