Misuse of my time off during STD.
-- Updated to add --
Holy moly, ladies. This is being blown up to be way more than it needs to be. My employer admitted fault and I'm allowed to feel frustrated. I caught their mistake within 2 pay periods, prior to my return to work, despite not having access to my account. I simply wanted to know if I had a right to ask for reinstatement of PTO without buy back. I sought advice from a women-empowered forum prior to asking my company. The judgement and negativity is not necessary. Thanks for sharing thoughts and guidance - I will simply step back and avoid confrontation.

I was asked, in writing, if I wanted my time off applied to my pay (after my 1-week elimination period). I explicitly said, in writing, "NO".
They agreed that, with consideration to all applicable laws and company policies, *THEY* made an error and applied 24 hours of my time off incorrectly. However, they simply told me "sorry we did that but we can't un-pay you." They offered to allow me to take unpaid days in the future but I was accounting for reduced pay now... not in six months.
I understand I should have been paying closer attention to my paychecks and that's on me. However, I didn't receive any paycheck stubs and couldn't sign into my computer to look.
I'm trying to be patient and understanding.
Do I have any rights to ask them to reinstate PTO? What do I do?
