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

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

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

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
