My wife never has PTO. She’s required to use up a 2 hour minimum whenever she wants off. She is scheduled 7-3:30 (has daily mandatory overtime) M-F and if she has a doctors appointment at 4 she has to put in 2 hours of PTO to get done at 3:30, when she is scheduled to be done anyway, but it doesn’t stop there. She also has to use PTO until the rest of her team go home. So if she leaves at 3:30 and the rest of her team work until 7:00 she has to use 3.5 hours. She’s had 2 real vacation days this year and is now out (close anyway), everything else has been appointments. I had some issues with a vehicle today and am 2 hours away, stuck in the twin cities. She put in for getting done at 3 (she started an hour early so they’re still getting 8.5 hours) and was warned that if they stay until 7 then she’s out of PTO and I guess will start earning points leading to termination. She only stays for the insurance, I’m desperate to find something better so she can leave.
