My wife's company has had a PTO policy that allowed them to carry over 140 hours every year. She has been with the company for over 20 years and because she is a manager and has to be at work, she has accumulated the maximum. The company recently changed

Previous agreement to accumulate 140 hours PTO per year suddenly changed to 40 and they are saying they will take any PTO not used by year end. Job as manager does not allow my wife to take off 3 1/2 weeks before year end, not to mention the rest of her PTO she earns this year. Can they legally take agreed upon earned PTO without adequate notice or allowance to use it? My wife would have to take off 5-1/2 weeks this year to use all PTO and they would not allow her to but are forcing her to at the same time.
