<prompt> Human: So the company I work for is going through some changes. We were bought, theyre going through and making changes to various policies and procedures. x200B;We have 2 types of time off available. Currently we have Vacation which we get so many hours per pay period, and it builds up. And we have PTO which can be used for if were sick, if kids are sick, appointments, emergencies, whatever. Its just not to be used as vacation time. x200B;So, new policy! Keeping the vaca policy kindalump sum as beginning of year and unlimited PTO. x200B;My supervisor is saying that PTO can only be used for if WE are sick. It cant be used for if our kids are sick. We would have to take it as unpaid. Im PRETTY sure this is bullshit and she just doesnt have a clue. I dont want to goto HR yet, as shell get all sorts of pissed off if she finds outits a super healthy environment, im looking to get out.x200B;So, is it likely that the new policy is really just for us? Not to be used for sick kids? It strikes me as kind of insane. x200B;  <response>: You will have to ask for clarification from HR. PTO can be used - or not used - at the discretion of your employer.
