Employment Law 101: Accounting for vacation pay

For aproximately 35 years our retirement office has been rolling in vacation payoffs into the final average compensation. They are trying to stop it now as they said they 'have nothing in writing'.

Since these vacation days were accrued by work time - should they be rolled in? (7% retirement is deducted from the total payoff and sent to retirement office)

I work for a small trucking company that is also a brokerage and when they terminate an employee that has over a year of employment they do not pay accured vacation pay to anyone nor do they send out COBRA letters for insurance. I have a coworker who just got terminated and had worked for the company over 2 years and they are refusing to pay his vacation which is available every Juanary. Who does he need to go to to force them to pay it. We have had several drivers who were terminated and never got their vacation pay either.

Check with your states bureau of labor. They might even take the case up for you. It is always best to have your own lawyer, but they can easily eat up all the vacation pay and then some. Certain states add penalties if final pay, including vacation, is not paid within a certain period of time. Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV, Radio, or in real or imagined life.

I have a question in regard to a lien on my property. I wonder if someone can guide me in the right direction on how to proceed.
In trying to refinancing my home mortgage loan, the bank, much to my surprise, discovered a $22K lien on my property.
Since I originally bought the property from a private investor, I have refinanced the house twice with different banks. This is never come up before.
I've located the previous owner's phone number, called him but get no reply.
What can I do next?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

I work for a US company that has about 1/2 its workforce in the US and the other half in a European country. When it comes to vacation, the European workers get about 3X the # of vacation days as their US co-workers. I know there are no laws mandating vacation, but I understand that once a company establishes a policy, it must be administered equitably amongst all workers. Is there a basis of a lawsuit here? It seems very unfair considering we all work for the same company. Anyone have an answer or suggestions where I can find one?

I WAS TERMINATED 2 DAYS AFTER SIGNING AND SUBMITTING VACATION FORMS. I WAS TOLD BY THE MANAGER AND COMPANY CONTROLLER THAT I AM NOT INTITLED TO RECIEVE VACATION PAY ON THE GROUNDS THAT I WAS TERMINATED. 21 DAYS HAVE PAST SINCE BEING TERMINATED, I HAVE NOT RECIEVED MY COBRA PAPER AND I GOT ILL AND HAD TO SEE A DOCTOR. I PAID THE DOCTORS BILL AND PAID FOR PERSCRIPTIONS. AM I INTITLE TO RECIEVE COMPENSATION FOR THE EMPLOYER?

I live in CT and am transferring from CT to FL for my job. Is the company required to give me any time off for travel etc? My start date is Sept 13 and I am not being given any time off to get down to Florida. I work 2nd shift and punch out at 11:30 pm on Friday night. Seems quite unreasonable to me but is there any law requiring time off for work transfers?

Who is responsable of getting somebody to cover me while I am on vacations. My Manager keeps telling me that he does not care if I want to take some vacations but that I need to have someone to cover me. Is it my responsability to
find someone to cover me or should that be my managers responsability. Can he denied my vacation because of this. What I dont understand is that when I finally did get someone to cover me they told me that they could not pay someone to be here and then pay me for being on vacation.

I got laid off and only received a few hours notice, also i was employed for a 15 months and was about to ask for my vacation. Upon receiving my last check i realized the vacation pay was not accounted for, when asked about it my employer said it was not company's policy to pay vacation, holidays nor sick days.However i recently got a hold of the company employee benefit policy which clearly states that employees are entitled to vacation, holiday and sick day pay. should it take legal action?..... my employer refuses to answer my calls now

I gave 2 week notice to my employer & when i ask about him pay me my o/t & vacation time he said he didnt have to pay me
i work for him over 4 years
so i walk out on him today

can i sue to get my time due to me

i live in the state of Florida

I live in California. My employer is in Michigan. My employer caps my yearly vacation accrual at 1 1/2 my yearly vacation. I am at their cap right now. My manager repeatedly denies my vacation requests. This represents lost wages. Is this legal?

Hi,

I live in Virginia, but the headquarters of the company I work for is in North Carolina.

I have a part time job in which I have accrued 20 hours of vacation. I took 15 hours of vacation. I was not paid my regular hourly rate for those 15 hours. I was paid 6.2524 * 15 hours and not my regular 9.09 per hour.

When I submited a request for explanation, HR stated that my pay rate was based on a 52 week pay history average. Is that legal being that I'm part time and hours vary?

Hi,
I work in South Carolina and my company has a vacation and sick leave policy and we accrue vacation time at 16.67 hours per month and sick leave at 6.67 hours per month, up until recently if you had the time and gave the employer adequate notice time was approved, however, now the employer asks what you need time off for and if it's not for a doctors appointment you are denied, my question is is it legal for the employer to be able to ask what I need time off for? It is time I have accrued based on their policies after all. Thanks!

i quit my job with no notice my employer does not have an employee hand book. i had 1 weeks vacation coming.since i quit he says i am not entitled to my vacation pay. your thoughts please

I work for a Jewish owner, who has all these Jewish holidays. Me and my other co-worker are not Jewish. However, they take off a lot a lot of days making me and her work on those days.
There are about 7 people in one office. And when it’s a Jewish holiday it’s just me and my co-worker. To top it off they also take off holidays giving to us such as Christmas and New Years.

Is there any law against that???

If so where can i find such law in writing?

I live in Pennsylvania, is it true that salaried employees can not take vacation time in less than 8 hour increments?

Thank you!

I used to work for a company in FL where they gave "earned vacation time"; for every 8 hours worked, they deducted 30 min and put that amount towards the "earned vacation time" which reflected in a lower check than the hours worked, in other words, I paid for my own vacation.
After a while, I saved over 100 hrs, but then I got a new job, and per their policies established after I started working for them, now they are saying they will not pay me that amount because it is unused time, even though it was daily deducted from my pay check. What should I do?

CORRECTION:
What does it means "EARNED VACATION TIME as well as OVER TIME" for the company I used to work for...

I worked for a company in FL where they gave "earned vacation time" information after hired; for every 8 hours worked, they deducted 30 min and put that amount towards the "earned vacation time" which reflected in a lower check than the hours worked, in other words, I paid for my own vacation.

Also, when worked overtime, they put this extra time "towards the earned vacation time", so it is not paid when it is worked and it is paid as regular hour, not as over time if used as sick time or vacation day off.

After a while, I saved over 100 hrs, but then I got a new job offer, and per their policies established late 2011 way after I started working for them, now they are saying they will not pay me that amount because it is "unused time off", even though it was daily deducted from my pay check as over time or earned vacation time. What should I do?

May a California employer track vacation awarded as dollars instead of time? For example, employee Betty makes $10/hr and earns 10 days of vacation (80 hours at $10/hr = $800) during her first year of work. Betty receives a salary increase to $12/hr on Jan 1, and is surprised to learn that her vacation bank now shows 8.33 days. The employer asserts that it tracks vacation pay earned in dollars and only shows it as "time" for convenient reference. Is this an allowable practice? The bigger your raise, the more vacation you lose. It seems to me that this is a sneaky "use it or lose it" practice --i.e., any vacation time not used is subject to being reduced every Jan 1.

Hi... I'm in HR - and have a question about the use it or lose it prohibition -- the sales force for our company is in just about every state. I just learned that CA has a law which prohibits employers from taking vacation time away. Our company has always had the practice of allowing only one week carry over into the next year and if there are more hours left in the vacation bank, then those hours are lost. What other states have a use it or lose it prohibition policy?

i work for a car dealer who made us sign a pay plan 2 years ago where we were paid $250 a week plus commission and you will get 2 weeks vacation pay as an average of one weeks pay for example if you made $100,000 income foe the previous year ending Dec. 31 you will get paid $2000 a week for the 2 weeks vacation you are entitled to Today they presented us with a new pay plan where we will get $400 a week in pay plus commission and that the previuos year vacation earned will be paid at a $400 week for vacation I feel this is an injustice as I earned my vacation time and pay under the old pay plan Can you tell me what is right and legal before I take actionnn Also if I left the firm will they have to pay me at the $2000 a weekk vacation pay or will they try to pay me $400 a wek from the new pay plan Thank you for your help
