If someone requests PTO, I don't ask questions unless it's literally in the day of or the next day.
I'm sure many other jobs aren't like this, but where I work we don't have to give any reason at all to use our sick leave. Since one of the official definitions of "sick" in the Cambridge Dictionary is "very good, excellent," you wouldn't even be lying.
I did once. I called my boss and just said I was in too good a mood to come in and I'll see you tomorrow. It worked.
In Australia, we could call that Carer’s Leave; Mental health days are a valid use case (at least at my work).
Edit: Mind you, we are also a country that needed to implement a Public Holiday ahead of the AFL Grand Final (similar to SuperBowl) because a significant portion of the population were taking ‘sick days’! 🤣
Shorten the work week, give better pay per hour for when you're there, allow remote working wherever it makes sense, lots of other things to make an employee feel better about their work and also give them the opportunity to live life outside the job. Amazingly it's been found that companies that do things like that not only have better production results, they retain people longer. I know, who would have guessed?
If the average employee takes 4 sick days and you don’t sick seems like you should get a “well” day.
I do this all the time. Everyone with pto has this ability but they are anxious and paranoid.
You're disregarding the fact that some managers do not tolerate this reasonable behavior.
I've found that communicating the law and legal rights has more of an effect than you think. If you have PTO, that's yours to use.
Oh, honey.
🤷♂️ I don't care if your can't control your anxiety. And it's hunny not honey. At least insult me correctly.
No but really.
