Double Standard?

[SisMidnight]

What is the name of your state? Tennessee
Our company recently changed one of many company policies.....
We are paid PTO (paid time off) accruing at 1.54 hours per work week..for only 10 days per year....no sick days or vacation days.....We are requested to notify 10 days in advance of a requested day off...The Managers have the yeah or ney to grant these requests...We also have a "no fault" point system......Now, because of the policy change, if we miss a day, unscheduled, doctors note or not, we receive a point plus are required to take a PTO day for that missed day.....although the company won't let you use your PTO when you might need it, it is now forced upon us to use it. Any recourse with company policies? And yes, I know that Tennessee is not a "right to work" state.

Right to work means you cannot be forced to join a union to get work. It has nothing to do with this situation.

Nothing you have posted is illegal with the possible exception of FMLA instances. A doctor's note has no force in law outside of FMLA, and it is legal in all 50 states for your employer to require you to use PTO time for any absence scheduled or unscheduled. That is, after all, what it is for.
