Question: Can an associate be told they cannot used their PTO/Protected PTO to cover time if they clock in late to work?
And just how much power to Team Leads have over an associate as far as being allowed to "yell" and "belittle someone"?

"Also, if you do not have enough PPTO, but regular PTO, then you can put in your PPTO and it will convert the PTO to PPTO."
REALLY? Are you sure? I hope so. I never tried it.
You can use ppto in 15 minute increments, it will cover being late with no half point. While no one should be belittled, yes a teamlead can yell or correct your actions. If you are being mistreated, you should go to your manager to open door your teamlead.

If you have ppto you will not gonna get points that’s why we have PROTECTED time. They are full of sh– for telling you that you can’t use it.
Per the CBL and Policy: Protected PTO is for tardy, absence or early out as long as you have enough PPTO to cover it.
Also, if you do not have enough PPTO, but regular PTO, then you can put in your PPTO and it will convert the PTO to PPTO.
And no a TL is not there to do that. They, as I do with my associates, are there to support you. If they’re being garbage? Open door them. Go directly to your manager.
Respect for the individual.
Yes, team leaders have absolute power to yell and belittle anyone they please.
If you have protected pto there is nothing they can do to you but if it’s just pto you can get the half point!
You can use protected but you’ll probably still get the half point whatever it is
