[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I only get 10 days of PTO a year. I’ve already been forced to use 2 days of PTO this year. [/quote]

Presumably you also can't bill for working 80 hours a week, right? There are all kinds of restrictions in these contracts.

If you don't like the contract, change it if & when you can, or if you can't, then change jobs. There is nothing specific to Juneteenth about this. It's just one of a dozen or so federal holidays, and federal holidays are just one of many restrictions on the time you can bill for as a federal contractor.[/quote] would you be okay with your client forcing you to use 2 of your 10 days of PTO this year? [/quote]

Dude, I'm a doctor in a pandemic serving an underserved population. I generally don't get to take time off. I would love to be forced to take PTO -- usually I lose it at the end of the year.

And yes, I also have "medical issues," likely worse than yours. I'm at high risk for COVID complications and still working, because I made that choice. I'm not blaming anyone else for that choice. I own it, and I own the fallout from it. [/quote] [b]it’s not PTO if you are forced to use it.[/b] These are days I could have been paid out for had I not needed then for my medical issues [/quote]

Yes, it is. It is time off, and you are paid for it. This is legal under FLSA. Barring any state restrictions that might apply, it is legal for your employer to dictate the scheduling of 100% of your PTO. That doesn't make it not PTO.

Where are you getting this idea?[/quote]
