Why is my manager able to call out on a weekly basis?
I live in MN. Recently, my manager has been calling off work, at least 1x/week for "not feeling well". We don't really know what that means, sometimes she will say that it's due to a migraine or her back gave out. Usually she'll say she's on PTO, since our PTO includes sick time, vacation, etc. She only accrued 6.15 hours a pay period and has 4 floating holidays. Last month I counted she was off for close to 2 weeks total ( 80 hours). She has been doing this since end of September beginning of October and has taken at least 2 vacations as well. I'm just wondering how she is able to do this? She is a salaried employee and I tried asking HR if exempt employees have different PTO policies but they were no help. I even read the employee handbook but couldn't find anything different for exempt employees or manager's. Me and my coworkers are all sick of this as it is a weekly thing for her and she's a manager. I'm just curious how she is able to do this and still be employed or not gotten in trouble with HR.
