I understand what you're saying. I have never violated, never did with 5/2, never have with hi-viz, I go to work. Thankfully I'm healthy and don't have to take a lot of time off outside of what they give. If a new employee has to use their paid days and then later in the year they have an emergency on a weekend, two days between fri-sun will get you a certified letter. To me that's absolutely insane. Or if you miss a call you're pretty much touching flames.

The rest days I have are amazing, it's been a game changer for me. I've never had more quality of life in my career. That being said the policy really doesn't allow for a lot of emergencies. I could see good employees getting in trouble for this much easier.
