It sounds like there is some confusion within the HR department if you are getting conflicting information. Do you have a copy of the company handbook that explains the accrual of PTO?

Do I need to discuss my mental health issues with my employer?

Example, an employee is required to get 10 customer reviews a month. The employee asks 84 customers for reviews but only 6 respond. Is that grounds for termination when the completion of the goal requires a third party participant to follow through?
Yes. If you are an at-will employee, your employer can terminate you for any reason or no reason, even if it is unfair. Unless you have an employment contract stating otherwise, your employer can terminate you for failing to get the requisite number of customer reviews - even though the goal is... Read more »

I thought it was 7 years but that was in 2013 and I just applied for a job (2021) and it came out on my record and I was not accepted. Is the 7years after found guilty date or after the 5 years probation was completed?
