Oh HR, I think you've screwed me

Sorry... this is boring. 

So at my work, you get vacation time (paid time off... PTO) based on the hours you work and the years you have been with the company. I am trying to figure out how long my ML should be based on how much PTO I have. I can't use it all cuz I don't accrue it that quickly in my specific position, and I need to have some to come back to. So DH and I were looking things over last night and realized that I've been shorted 1 hour of PTO per pay since I started this position in June; they're giving me the rate meant for people with less time with the company. That's almost 12 hours, which is a whole day off for me! After an hour on the phone, someone agreed with me and they are trying to straighten it out. 

Really... all of this could have been avoided if the dumb company gave a shat about their employees and provided a more reasonable disability policy anyway.  Then I wouldn't care how much PTO I had cuz I wouldn't have to use it!
