Is everybody else getting five weeks off? Is this all time that they’ve accrued?
And did your IT security department know about this “bot“ that he wrote and how it could possibly negatively impact the system not to mention his teammates?
People should be able to use their PTO how they wish. If he’s getting married saving PTO for 5 weeks off is perfectly reasonable. Pre wedding + wedding + honeymoon. If HR can’t plan in advance for ONE PERSON that’s their problem
A lot can happen in half day increments. For lack of a policy, we had a drunkard in the cupboard. He turned the key. Somehow, he created a small meeting, in the boardroom.
Created a policy that the company actually adopted. They took his policy and ran with it. He was fired that night.
They forgot one key component apparently. I saw it, but made no mention of it. They changed a whole system to un-bottle neck the very obvious bottleneck.
Due to events that no longer involved him. The bottlenecks went unnoticed. R&D was halted, production growth ran fallow.
He applied after the fact. At the point that it became too big to go unnoticed.
I take half days all the time in the summer, helps to beat traffic if you’re going somewhere…that being said I don’t know why that would be the standard…
What it means is you're supposed to take them in half-day increments: basically meaning 4 or 8 hours. You're not allowed to submit 1, 2, 3 hours of PTO.... that's all.
LOL!!!
Minimum 4 hour PTO doesn't mean that you can't take 8 hours at a time, or submit a week (or more) of straight PTO. This is actually a common policy in many companies, including mine that's how I know. And have also dealt with HRIS directly on a few things.
I am still hung up on half day PTO increments? How does that even work?
What platforms are you guys on? Workday lets you do both full eight hour days more than one day off in a row and four hour increments, at least the version of workday that I was on for 10 years.
Hilarious
