Why did my boss Deny my PTO time?
About a month ago, my boss came back from a 2 week vacation. I have a lot of PTO (paid time off) built up and I wanted to take a week so I wouldn’t lose it. My boss denied it saying we had a high priority project that needed to be finished. I contacted HR and they say I won’t lose the time, but I would still like to take it.
What should I do if someone requests not to take PTO?
If they request to not take PTO because it’s a bad time, then a most appropriate response would be to schedule a specific more appropriate time for that vacation, preferably right then and there – so the discussion never even enters a stage where the vacation is cancelled and needs to be re-negotiated.
What happens if an employee requests a day off and is denied?
Make it a written policy ahead of time that if an employee requests a day off and it’s denied, and this employee later comes down ill, a doctor’s note will be required releasing the employee to come back to work. What this means is that he/she cannot come back without that note.
Can a PTO discipline an employee for two days off?
However, she needs two days off for tests related to her disability. If you discipline her for the second absence, you may be violating the ADA. Instead, consider whether the second day off would be a reasonable accommodation. It likely is. Here are three examples of potential PTO abuse and how to respond to them.

How does a paid time off ( PTO ) policy work?
She has covered HR for The Balance Careers since 2000. A paid time off (PTO) policy combines vacation, sick time and personal time into a single bank of days for employees to use when they take paid time off from work. A PTO policy creates a pool of days that an employee may use at his or her discretion.
