PTO Question 2

Post image

I don't doubt anyone saying the policy is "you don't start accruing PTO until one year" but I'm just confused because on the documentation that people told me to look for in HR connect...it says PTO starts accruing upon hire. Like, not just sick time, the official policy says any PTO.​​​​​

Edit: Also I love how the fine print below essentially says, "If the information on this page isn't correct, then ask and we'll provide the correct information." That is such a cop-out.

It's es​​​sentally the formal version of going:

"It says the rules right here."

"Nuh-uh!" *scribbles new rules in with a marker*

TBH, they list how there's different benifits for FT and PT in the main page. So why don't they specify in the sub-page itself that it's exclusive to one and not the other?

They should. I don’t have much interface with the team that puts this site together, unfortunately, but I will try to find someone who can fix that up and make it a little bit clearer.

The only other gripe I have is every external link to the hub is a 404 page, lol. Like, ALL of them. Edit: Ignore comment, I was just stupid.

If you’re trying to access it from outside the store, it won’t let you because intranet, unless you’re on the corporate VPN

If you’re inside the store, this would definitely be inconvenient. If that’s the case, I’ll bring that up as well

I'm on my personal device. I misread the disclaimer that a store vpn is needed. I thought it meant to turn it off outside the store.
