We are quite flexible. They get 10 days PTO plus company holidays. Works out to 15 days total off per year.
Their 10 days (80 hours) are theirs to use as they see fit. All of my low level employees run out of time. Used almost always Mondays. None of the rest of the employees even use the 80 hours .

He claimed sick yesterday. I told him to go to the doctor otherwise he needs to come in. Then we got an email from his girlfriend that also works here saying she needed the day off to take care of her boyfriend. I told her that is not how it works, PTO must be pre arranged. If she is sick stay home. Otherwise come to work. This kid of stuff will jeopardize her employment. They are both in early 20s I think. That generation claims to be so unhealthy.. What should be done in these situations? The girl is doing a job of a former employee that was malingering, many weeks over the past couple of years. She was a drama queen and always stirring up trouble. Finally got enough and told her if she didn’t get a doctors note or show up she would be fired. At that she said she is not gonna return until she feels respected. I hit the eject button. Most of our employees are not any problem at all. Many of them have told me this is the best job they have ever had. But we always have one or two problem cases. Like to know the absenteeism policy across the spectrum of companies. I cannot imagine even the most woke companies allow this kind of stuff.
