The only question I was asked by the lady was if I wanted to do it partial or the entire 6 weeks, to which I told her I would rather be there for my mother so she doesn't have another fall.

What's funny about it is that I've actually gone back and checked my bank statements plus having talked to my boss earlier about this last week (the physical therapist last week wasn't satisfied with how my mom's knee was healing and I overheard her saying she might be in the splint for two more weeks, which is why I went to go check and found all of this), but also I'm 101 hours in the negative. He also tried to put me back in early when the form clearly stated I could return to work on 6/14. I had to go in that day and ask him as to why this was so badly mucked up.

"Oh, I never saw your papers." Even though that apparently got filed away in the other office for all of the managers to access. I even had told the managers that were in your office to leave it on your table, to which they did.

If I were to get paid, it could have instead come from my sick leave as due to our company's PTO changes, we're no longer able to accrue the hours (according to some of the managers, the sick leave will be completely erased by the end of this year), and now everything is in PTO that you have to earn over the course of the year. It sounds good on paper but doesn't quite make much sense at all when it comes to unplanned leave like what I am going through. Worst possible outcome from what corporate told me is that I will end up OWING my company money, which is utter horseshit. If it did come down to that, I would owe a little under $2,800.

The PTO does not roll over into next year, so it has to be used up before the end of the year. And you can bet your booty that November and December time off are always off the table in this company.

"Oh, these new PTO changes will be great for everyone! But you have to work long hours to earn the time off! Oh, you don't have any time off and we paid you anyway? Prepare to bend over "
it really sucks don't it. I do hope you can get somethings worked out but I don't think you'll get the paid time off back since it was already used. most likely due to your company policy. =(
