Managers have told me 24 hours notice. But I have heard of guys calling in the morning of and using one for emergencies also. Guess like most things, depends on the flavor of your management team in place.

Personal Days can be split up. They can be used for appointments, sick day, vaca, whatever... Here is the catch. They can not be paid out like vaca or floating holidays. So, if you get to the end of the FY and have not used them, you are screwed.

They should have 24 hours notice, but the time can be denied by a manager.
You're in California correct? You should be entitled to a pay out for unused time. Most employees use Kincare also so they can use suck time to care for others. It could also be used any time you think your request might be denied.

You had days on the books and were forced to take two dead days to be with your wife?
She had no sick days left? Should have been paid with them as she was probably on her way to short term disability and you have to use 5 sick days first.

My manager recently told me that PB's can be used the day of the day you need off in case of an emergency. We had a blizzard that closed my kids' daycare and school. I called in, thinking I would be forced to take an unpaid day off because my wife had already left for work when I got word everything was closed but my manager informed me I could use one of my PB's instead.
He was surprisingly ok with me giving him less than an hours notice I wouldn't be in that day.

Usually in a bad storm they expect people to call off and they also realize that not much work is going to get done regardless.
How many times have you went out into a storm and came back 8 hours later with a pretty much full truck

In all honesty, not often. Whenever we get a blizzard, we usually don't get our international and any domestic from the West coast. Usually just leaves us with very little freight and an early pull.

One of our recent storms did just this for our station. I was able to get 45 stops off on a route that I normally can do 110-150 on a "regular" day.

One bad storm will back my station up for a week sometimes, we have areas we service that during an active storm you just can go to. Places that a plow doesn't touch for 2 days after a storm always a mess for us
can you read?

If you filed for fmla they couldn't deny you time off. Check your state laws regarding your sick leave time. In California you can use sick leave to care for your family members.

There is no min for fmla. You could use your vacation. In fact it's now company policy to use all of paid time off except one week for fmla.not in Ca. FMLA for two lousy days? really? The point I was making is here you need months notice to use PBD's Iyou not!

I understand what you are saying. I'm just letting you know, for family health issues, there is. You just have to point out fmla and company policy. If your management tries to deny it, call hr.
Can you explain your situation better? I can see why they denied you personal days.
