Unethical PTO policy?

Change needs to be made to policy concerning the Holiday or PTO. A. Employees working 5-8hrs Mon-Fri. B. Employees working 4-10hrs Mon-Thur C. Employees working 4-10hrs Tues-Fri Policy says if a Holiday falls on Monday following: Employee A receives a day off = 8hrs. Employee B receives a day off = 10hrs. Employee C receives PTO= 8hrs. So Employees A & B are receiving full day off. Employee C only receives 8hrs and have to use 2hrs PTO to have a day off. Employee B & C are not treated equally. They both work 4-10s . Only 1 will receive the full day of while the other has to use 2hrs PTO. In order to make policy ethical Employee C needs to receive a full day off or 10hrs. We appreciate the flex schedule afforded to us it is a great incentive. This is why I didn’t push this issue…


Change needs to be made to policy concerning the Holiday or PTO.

A. Employees working 5-8hrs Mon-Fri.

B. Employees working 4-10hrs Mon-Thur

C. Employees working 4-10hrs Tues-Fri

Policy says if a Holiday falls on Monday following:

Employee A receives a day off = 8hrs.
Employee B receives a day off = 10hrs.
Employee C receives PTO= 8hrs.

So Employees A & B are receiving full day off.

Employee C only receives 8hrs and have to use 2hrs PTO to have a day off.

Employee B & C are not treated equally. They both work 4-10s . Only 1 will receive the full day of while the other has to use 2hrs PTO.

In order to make policy ethical Employee C needs to receive a full day off or 10hrs.

We appreciate the flex schedule afforded to us it is a great incentive. This is why I didn’t push this issue prior to today. I didn’t want a canned response of well everyone can work 5-8s. Maybe Employee A would argue well we only receive 8 hrs, but that is a day off as per their schedule.

I Hopefully this email at least creates a conversation on the ethics of the current policy.
