Emergency Dental - No PTO


Posted: Apr 13, 2015

I'm on my Nth percocet since yesterday, going to dentist at 5 pm. I have no PTO time available so do I have to make up time away to see the Dr.?

I've heard conflicting things from higher ups over the days and months.

I would submit for time off w/o pay and forget about it. - sm

Emergencies happen. There's no sense in them being so completely unreasonable about everything.

They have been nothing but nice - sm

with my various "things" that have popped up lately. If you want to make it up and they have slots, make it up. If you want LWOP, then take it.

Unfortunately - anony

They will probably want you to make the time up and probably on the weekend.
Good luck.

You know the old saying, want in one hand and.... - nm
