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

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

I'm assuming this is a reverse?

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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