I’m pretty sure it’s legal for them to do this regardless of state, even more so in FL. But yeah, I took 5 days for PTO for a vacation and it was approved. I work as a nurse, do 3 12’s. The PTO would mean that I have 40 allotted hours so I wouldn’t have to work a lot of days beforehand. About a month and a half later, they cancel my PTO and make it to where I work 3 12’s before I have to drive 12 hours for my vacation. I still have the days off at least this way but now I have no time to pack. I know there are worse offenses that I’ve read on here, but this place is losing staff left and right due to scheduling issues. I looked at the staffing book, we actually have adequate staffing for a few of those days. I’ll call HR whenever I get a chance, but I don’t think they’ll be able to change anything.
TLDR: PTO denied after being approved for a month and a half. Am angry boi. Will probably call HR for no affect.
