Shit that's crap. That includes all sick days and emergency care of dependents, and bosses get arsey if you take any holiday, right?

Yup. Plus many workplaces have a points system for tardiness or calling off.

Late by 5 minutes = 1/2 point and 5/6 points you're fired. Points drop off after one year.

There's something called FMLA (family medical leave act) which you can use to take additional time off to care for a family member, but it's unpaid.

Yeah, that's why Americans are pissed off all the time.

Uuuuuhhhhh. Then you have 0 pto/y.

They automatically take your PTO if you call in or are late and you must exhaust your PTO before you can take FMLA. Yeah.
