Employers and making up hours question

[koRnhead]

They can't make you work the hours you missed. .....they can fire you for some small petty crap if they want. But you will get your UI and you can find a better job.

Thanks for all the help. They don't show anything in the company policy handguide so I suggested because they been there 10+ years they should contact their personal attorney

So this has come up a few times regarding someone close to me. They are paid hourly and hired On a 40hr/week schedule.
They get 8 hours personal time quarterly. (Which is horrible I think- I'm used to 40 hours up front each year)
so they get sick or use it for whatever reason , they have no more personal time for a while. If they do call off again without personal time , the employer starts demanding when are they going to make up the hours or face being written up.
Can they do that? I would not feel like discussing how I am going to make up 8 hours while I'm home sick or let alone being sick and now having to work 12 hour days to make up time.
Just wondering if he/she has any rights here and should stand up for themselves
At my job, you call off it's frowned upon and your "punishment" is just having a smaller paycheck. Frequent calling off could lead to a discussion about termination but that would have to be chronic abuse of not showing up to work.

Contact the Department of Labor. Find out what applies in your state. I know mine by first name.
