Ralph has used his personal leave time (PLT) for reasons that do not align with the company's policy, such as being hung over or spending the day with a friend. Therefore, his supervisor may not be inclined to grant him additional time off for the funeral, as his past behavior indicates that he may misuse the extra time. If Ralph were an employer, he would likely want his employees to follow company policy and use PLT for valid reasons, which in turn would make it easier for supervisors to grant additional time off when necessary.
