My manager is always sending out emails that we are required to submit a PTO request (pain or unpaid) for situations when there is no work available in order to account for all of our hours. I don't understand why we need to do this. I put no studies available on my time card when I clock out when I run out of work. I'm not asking for time off and so don't see why I should have to put in a request for time off when there is no work. I would be more than happy to work during these times if there was work avaiilable to me.
If we put in a PTO request, does that affect our ability to file for partial unemployment due to no work being available? Is that why they make us do this? Has anyone refused to submit the PTO request for time when there is no work available?
