Got a job saying the snow days we just had - that closed our office - count as PTO.
This is the first I've heard of this happening at any job I've worked.
Is this common, gang?
Either way, I can maintain my PTO through several circumstances over the last few snow days that I won't get into now because that would be very yawn worthy, but still... definitely a new one to me, and I've been working for a while :/
Lemme know!

Can't say I've heard of that one before.

Mmm hmmm...
Yeah, it's definitely a new one to me. Trying to do an unofficial poll.

Is your office open? My office has been open, despite the ice, but I've been working from home. (I tried to drive in Monday but my car got stuck in the street after backing out my driveway, so that was that.) If some people are coming in the office and others are working from home, then I can see why the company would make those who aren't working take the days as personal days or vacation days.

Mon. and Tues. the office was officially closed. It was open today, but I worked from home.

If the office is closed, then I'd think this wouldn't count toward your Personal Days or Vacation Days. Maybe they just meant PTO like if you have jury duty. I've logged Paid Time Off for jury duty and it didn't count against me.

I have worked for companies that said closures count as non-pay or PTO. My latest company simply handles the problem by never ever closing. Hint I am in CT and we were delayed two hours for one of the worst storms in state history  I am shocked I didn't die on my way in and upon reflection should've stayed home. |
