Does an employer have the right to ask why your taking a day off? What business is it of theirs if the employee has the time on the books to take?

yes to some extent.
if you are requesting Vacation ---then that is your reason.
if you are taking a personal day --- simply state personal day.
you do not need (by law) to be specific as dr. appt, dmv appt., shopping etc.
be informative but discreet. reasons: sick day, vacation day, personal time, bereavement, etc....
that is all that is required by law. if they continue to push and ask...a nice response would be ..."its kind of personal and i'd rather not say..thankyou".
good luck :)

Get rich quick schemes in the capitalist business world, (buyouts, IPOs, conglomerates, acquisitions, mergers, and the stock market), do not actually work. Remaining solvent does not actually exist within false economics capitalism.
Profit existing in the capitalist business world, or millionaires existing within capitalism, is pathological deception committed by the 21 organizations spying on the population with plain clothes agents, (with covert fake names and fake backgrounds).
Actual economics is the persons paying the monthly business loan payments of companies voting at work in order to control the property they are paying for.
Capitalism is the psychology of imaginary parents, false economics, and the criminal deception of employees that are paying the bills (including the stocks and bonds, or shares) of companies.
Anti-democracy republicanism is the psychology of imaginary parents and false government.

Yes they do but you can say "personel Reasons" and they have to leave it at that. You may be asked to prove that you need the time off if it is for medical reasons. HR is bound by law to keep your information safe and to them selves.

usually, it just happens that you tell them what it's for, because it's a conversation and you don't mind telling them. but if you don't want to tell them, just come up with something vague; certainly they cannot insist on knowing, and how would they know anyhow? you could say anything, really. if you have the time off, they might just be busy and want to know that you have a really good reason for needing the day off, but no, they don't have to know.

Your employer has every right to know why you are missing work.
ON a workday your obligation is to him as he has contracted you to perform a service. If you are unable to perform that service he has every right to know the reason.

Sure they can ask. They can ask anything they can think of. It doesn't mean you have to answer. It could just be as simple as your boss taking an interest in your life as a person- that's not a bad thing.

Yes, he's your employer, he pays your wages, he counts on your work...therefore, he has a right to know!

Yes, this is reasonable, because some people want to work as they please, and this just isn't fair to the employer.

Yes he can. You can say it's for personnal reasons and that may be enough to satisfy him----but maybe not.
