It depends on the department. For the IT department, they have PTO. The company policy is that you can use your PTO for whatever you need. The unspoken IT policy is that you can only use it when IT leadership thinks it's appropriate. If they disagree with how, when, where and why you are using your PTO they will frown upon you and your reputation will be in jeopardy. For example, I personally knew an employee who had to take PTO on a couple consecutive days because her disabled son was having issues getting a prosthetic leg to fit properly. It was "noted by leadership that she was gone too much lately." Even though she had the PTO time to account for the time, or made an effort to make up the hours. I personally, took less than half a day of PTO in order to take care of my kids because my wife was vomiting and we couldn't get a sitter. My reputation suffered because of this. Their core values includes "putting people first" but they do not practice it!
