Is it appropriate to ask an employee why they are taking time off?

It’s not any of your business

Jeff Spicoli

It’s none of your business

Lol. It’s not your business, Karen.

Tmoney1969

Nope. None of your business. I never ask my employees. PTO is quite literally is paid personal time away from work

YIsForBrigham

Uh yeah… none of your business if it’s their PTO. You sound like a lot of fun

If it is PTO none of your business. They’ve earned it, its theirs.

If your company gives your employees paid time off it's none of your business

Sandy Lyle

I'm assuming this is a reverse?

Clark Addison

I don’t think it is your business. They have PTO. They can use it as they wish. Maybe they are taking care of a sick

Absolutely not.

Has to be. Otherwise, the dude is incredibly prickly

I'd bet he is the employee in this story. Not the manager.

If they want to share great. But it’s their business.

How can your employees emphasize to you that it is in fact none of your business what they use PTO for?

They are using accrued sick leave or vacation time?

That is what I was wondering as well

Whip

1/25/23 7:07pm

We have something called PL: Personal Leave. It’s PTO or sick time as needed.

TheWanderer

1/25/23 7:11pm

Then it doesn't matter why they are taking time off, as long as it is approved

cougaman

1/25/23 8:06pm

Since you are paying for it, it is clearly your business. Unpaid time off you should not ask about.

Baron

Tip: make a dupe account on Instagram and follow them to see if they post stories that make it clear they lied.

TCuz

1/25/23 6:57pm

Is it unlimited PTO? If not then what they do during their PTO is their business

MrTootles

1/25/23 6:57pm

If they are taking too much, talk about that. Still none of your business what

You can't abuse unlimited time off

PTO isn’t your business…specific sick leave might be more your business.

Isn't PTO for free time away from work during business hours?

Sandy Lyle

I'm aware of that, which is why I suggested he look at it differently.

Do you mean they are asking to leave during the middle of the day and using

Do you make your employees take PTO during non-business hours?

How can anyone abuse unlimited PTO. That is not possible

Sandy Lyle

Don't you know, companies with "Unlimited" PTO don't actually expect employees

BYUtka

1/26/23 6:34am

Probably best to do a stake out and get to the bottom of it if they won’t tell you. You owe it to your company…
