On Friday, FTVLive told you how some stations were telling employees that if they had to self-quarantine that they would only be paid for the PTO days they had stored up.

We showed you a tweet from WLOX (Biloxi) Anchor/Reporter Alison Span about her employer Gray Television, and how she only had 3 PTO stored up. In other words, if she had to sit out of work for two weeks, she would only be paid for 3 days.

This might be fine for someone in a big market that is making a decent wage, but this is Biloxi and the pay in TV news in Biloxi isn’t that great.
