I work for a franchise, so apparently, owners can do whatever the hell they want. When I first accepted the job, I did so after negotiating 3 days of PTO, as they were offering none. I asked to use a half day on a Monday following a weekend of moving and was approved. As I was getting in my car to go to work, my battery completely died. I had to wait for a jump start and then once that happened, they recommend that immediately get my battery replaced since it was dead dead. I communicated with my employer and they knew exactly what was going on. A few days later they said they are changing my PTO from days to hours, since it seems like I am going to be going by the hour, and told me to sign off on the form for those extra hours I was out getting my car fixed. I said something along the lines of “I didn't plan for that to happen, it was out of my control” and the response I got was “Well, that is what your PTO is for” So if I get in an accident, am I forced to use my PTO? Do I have a choice? God, I hate this place.
