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.

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.

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