For example, the need to use PTO for <br />scheduled health and dental appointments, or annual vacations, is foreseeable, so the employee <br />would need to provide advanced notice of PTO use. <br />74.9 Unscheduled PTO: Unscheduled PTO is limited to emergencies or other urgent situations which <br />are unforeseeable. Preventative health and dental appointments are not considered <br />unscheduled and must be requested in advance in accordance with Article 14.8.
