Okay, fellow redditors, I'm looking for some help understanding if I'm getting played at work with my PTO v. work schedule.
Background: I'm working as a salaried employee with a modified 9×9 work schedule (I get 1 Friday off every other week, work 8 days @ 9 hrs/day, 1 @ 8 hrs/day. The standard for a salaried employee at my office is 8 hrs, 5 days a week. So over a 2 week period, I work 80 hrs, like a standard salaried employee (on paper, you know how it is).
When it comes to PTO spending and accrual, I accrue PTO at as a salaried employee at a standardized rate – no change based on my modified work schedule. The same rules are applied to my PTO schedule as my work schedule, where a Friday is marked in my PTO management tool similar to a weekend, and one of those days in a 2 week span is marked as an 8 hr work day (I have no way to tell which day it is in the PTO tool). All the others are marked as 9 hrs and so a day of PTO for me is 9 hrs instead of 8.
Am I getting gamed by my work spending 9 hrs compared to my standard 8 hrs? Something just feels off about this. My wife agrees, but I'm just not sure how.
