How do holidays work when you’re in the field? My current company I just got hired with has a very vague and ambiguous policy. We get 12 holidays off but my manager said we “might have to work them” if we are needed by a surgeon. So it was recommended to take PTO on the days that we want guaranteed off.

I just started not that long ago and barely have a 2 days saved up, am I really going to have to use one of them for Memorial Day so I can go out of town? There is nothing specifically outlining this in the handbook besides something like “field employees may need to work holidays depending on customer needs”.
