    my job has “paid sick time” but you cant use it if youre out of PTO and if you have PTO it takes off your PTO. how dumb is that. my coworker lost all his PTO by getting super sick for 2 weeks at the start of the year

      Speedway and parent conpany 7 Eleven just did this this year everywhere it isn’t illegal. Made it so you only have PTO time and sick time takes it out of your pto. Thankfully that’s illegal in Michigan for hourly employees.

      Which also has the fun situation of if you get promoted to general manager you loose your sick time because of going to salary vs hourly.

      What a strange policy. So that just reduces sick leave to, what, an “unscheduled vacation”?

      What’s weirder is that this eliminates some incentive to schedule a vacation in advance, provided you can lie about being sick.

      Is it also at double rate, or you don’t even have 28 days of vacation?
