Is it legal for a comp. to give a full time employ. permission for paid time off and then not pay them for it?
|
This is for a full-time employee of four years. Employee was given a signed contract for requested time-off and was said to be given 100% time off with full pay. Then, three months later money is taken from employee check (without any notification) for the time off taken. Apparently, the company states this money is taken out because the employee ran out of time off? I know this is unethical but what about legal? I would prefer to have a website with more information since I can't find anything about this topic. Thanks!
Additional Details
Everything is in writing. There is a copy of a handbook from four years ago (the HR Department keeps playing games with not getting any new ones when asked). It clearly states that there was enough time off for this vacation to be taken. They change the policies without notification, I guess. In addition, the HR was asked how many hours could be taken with paid vacation time (this is not a family leave) at the end of the year last year. Since the company supposedly does not carryover time off, we took the exact amount of days off that were left still for last year. Just now he is being docked time off for taking time off near Christmas. The HR stated that since he took too much time off, they took his vacation time away this year to fill in last year. Hence, he lost money for taking two days off in Feb, one without pay. Everything was documented w/ signed permission slips stating he still had paid time off. Info about laws would be nice, until a new one comes, $ would be nice

yes it is legal, if you don't have the time then you don't get paid, common sense should tell you that |

Are you sure they said they would pay for it or that you could take FMLA which is family leave, but w/o pay. Hopefully you have it in writing otherwise it will be your word against theirs. You need to look through your emails and search for anything relating to this issue. If they authorized you to take all your vacation time at once and you took more then they can take back anything extra....You'll have to give more details and definitely have back up documentation. Good luck. |

Depends if they put it in writing, say in an email. Or if the company manual provideds for paid time off within the parameters of the policy you qualify. |

you would need documentation of time off (leave slips, time cards, etc). Otherwise it is he said/ she said.
If you can prove you have time remaining, you might have a case. either way, sounds like its time to find a new employer. |
