Hello. Using a throwaway account for this one. So I’ve been working for a company for a little over a year and need to take a mandatory 5 straight days off that uses my PTO. During this time we are not allowed to access anything, even our email. Not that I’d want to look at work emails on a break, but I just thought it would be good to note.

What worries me is that one of my co-workers mentioned that they make us take this time off to conduct an employee audit to make sure we aren’t “stealing from the company.” Does anyone have experienced with these kind of audit? I am not sure what stealing actually means here and I really don’t want to ask someone in the company. We work from home most of the time, so is it considered stealing if I take an hour for lunch instead of 30 minutes because I got my morning work done on time? Or do these kind of audit look for other more nefarious things such as stealing company data?

I’m probably being more nervous and paranoid than I need to be, but any info is appreciated.
