I just want to keep it as short and sweet as possible cuz post corporate takeover literally nothing makes sense and everything is convoluted.
Coworker R was approached by our team leader about a day during the last pay period where there were electrical issues (area known for it, there's a clause in the new PTO policy for it with our WFH agents) and she was offline for about two hours. THAT DAY this team lead advised her NOT to clock out for a one hour lunch because she had “basically taken a two hour lunch” and to just leave it be.
Yesterday that lead pulls R and says because she DIDN'T take a lunch she ended up with an out of PTO. Corporate HR literally said “don't worry about it,” so if of course team lead makes a big deal about it. We have to do this change.
After spending 2-3 hours with R off the phones trying to muck through this new system, come to find out that there wasn't actually an hbour of PTO because team lead had Monday off and hadn't approved anything.
Is it illegal for my team lead to ask R to change those hours this far after it? We've already gotten that check.
