PTO (i.e. vacation and/or sick time) is typically not mandated under the law. Accordingly, an employer as a great deal of say over when and how it is used. This includes applying some available time to cover a worker's absence. This the fact is that most work relationships are "at will", which means that a company can set the conditions of employment much as it sees fit (absent some form of legally actionable discrimination). This is true unless doing so violates the terms of an employment contract or union agreement.
