Can someone please explain this to me like I'm 5 yrs old, because I am so confused here. (Oh god, that makes me sound like Michael Scott.)

We have this thing going on at work where we can accumulate an hour of PTO for every 5 hrs OT we work within a certain time frame. By the end of this week, I will have accumulated 3 hrs OT.

I just spoke to my supervisor about using my 3 hrs on the 29th - the day Will is having his nose rebroken. I am taking the day off, unpaid. I was just told that I cannot use the hours for time off on a day I already have off, but I can use them to leave work early any other day.

There is some sort of difference, but I don't see it. It's not like I'm getting paid for the day I have off, and I want to add the PTO to that day and get 'extra'. That is an unpaid day, so any time I use is not 'extra'.

Can anyone here see the difference?

Do you have a certain number of personal days you can take off unpaid before there are consequences? - sheba Dec 18, 17:11 1
- You also have the issue of days vs hours. One type of time off is tracked in hours and the other in days. - sheba Dec 18, 17:19
two things, did you already request that day off? - truman Dec 18, 16:25 1
- Yeah, I did. From the sound of it, it wouldn't have mattered when I asked for the day off. - kelly Dec 18, 16:27
That sucks, but sounds like SOP. - Dr.Vermin, superstar Dec 18, 16:23 1
- But to answer your question, it sounds like an HR/Accounting person already did the paperwork on your day off, and... - Dr.Vermin, superstar Dec 18, 16:26
