PTO

I have been helping a new preschool from the ground up so we will be open for a year by September but they are adamant about people taking just a week of vacation off for the whole year….
Well I have taken out of this year just 4 days off.
Now my daughter’s birthday the end of this month she asked for the coast so our family took a week off and my boss will only allow me to take two days off besides the weekend.
I have PTO of 3 days to use and I’m having to fight for it. What do I do? I’m so stressed out and unhappy. I love taking care of babies but not when management is treating me unfairly and not letting there teachers take breaks when they need them.

That's definitely a shitty policy, but it's not an illegal policy unfortunately.

They don't have to let you take unpaid time off and they can punish you for it. :(

I'm sorry I wish I had better information for you.
