    My company took about 25 hours of my pto when i had 41 and i only used 7 hours then i was left with a balance of 7-8 hours… i didn’t get paid out and my company says they going to figure out what it’s about and never do… should i lawyer up?

    My employer restored my PTO after my FMLA was approved > it’s the end of the year and he won’t let me take any PTO hours to see my dr. It’s the end of the year & he says “use it or lose it” > “nope, you cannot take PTO.”

    Monday I requested Wednesday PTO same week. For not giving them enough notice I was received occurrence. My question is what is that and can they do that?

    So at the beginning of this year I had gotten a raise. I work based on commission. I had it for 1 week then my company changed the pto policy. They then took all of our raises and said to make the same money you have to game the system and the money is the same. Meaning put in for pto and come in to work to increase your pay for the amount of pto time. Can they legally do this? I have been with only this company for 3 years now having to work a second job and it’s affecting my main job. Any advice?

    So my company only offers PTO which they say is also our sick pay, but we have to accumulate hours to use it, aren’t we supposed to start off with 24 hours of sick pay by California law. I only have 12 hours and I’ve been with my company for 6 months lol

    If I put PTO on a Friday, or Monday, do I have to come on a mandatory Saturday? Saturdays and Sundays or my weekend btw

    • @DeiHarper9361
      @DeiHarper9361 Рік тому +2

      If you're off on the weekends then no. Pto is paid time off so if you're approved then whatever day you take off is covered and not have to be made up.

    Can my manager force me to use PTO?

  • @the_sneakerhead_chef
    @the_sneakerhead_chef Рік тому

    I am a business owner and I have employees that will call in sick the day of, and will try to put in PTO on that day, if they have PTO available. Is that the correct way to use PTO? I require employees to put in PTO 2 weeks before. I feel that I get taken advantage of because I do not have a sick policy for time off, but I am losing that employees productivity for the day and yet have to pay them. Can you help with some guidance?

    my previous company is in Indiana, but I worked in Illinois. Their policy is to pay out PTO upon separation. I have a sneaky suspicion that they are going to conveniently forget since it is about 10k. I think my only option is to lawyer up. What do you think?

      Yes. I worked at walgreens as a tech. Worse job I ever had. Do mail order pharmacy! 10x better and they pay more
