Sunday, November 8th, 2009

Hans Y asked:

I want to take my 3 weeks of vacation at my current company now. DUring this time, I want to start at my new company…I intend to tell my current company that I quit at the end of the 3 weeks…but really I already started elsewhere. I know this isn’t exactly ethical…but is it illegal at all?

What is the difference between sick leave and vacation leave? Why not have a combined personal leave benefit?

Monday, September 28th, 2009

Gerhard E asked:

I am working for a small company that wants to begin to offer vacation and sick leave benefits. They plan to offer both as a “personal leave” policy that can be used either for sick leave or vacation. I do not understand how the IRS might treat them differently. It seems most companies do not have a combined personal leave benefit.

Is it legal for my employer to limit my vacation time without giving me any paid vacation?

Kaleigh H asked:

I work for massage envy and my employer has limited on only a certain amount of days we are alotted to take off a year. I am only allowed to take 12 days off a year and this includes holidays. If we go over our alotted days off, we get reprimanded for it through a points system. My question is, does anyone know if legally they can limit our vacation days when we get no paid vacation nor 0 employee benefits.
I forgot to mention that I get paid per massage, not hourly.

Can a previous employer collect an overpayment of vacation hours 6 months after leaving the company?

Thursday, May 18th, 2006

Jenni’lynn asked:

My husband and I took a 3 week vacation this past summer. Prior to leaving on our trip he sent in his letter of resignation, upon our return he would be accepting another job at a different company. His last paycheck from his previous employer was basically ALL his vacation pay…
So, NOW, 6 months later he just received an email informing him that they, by mistake, made an overpayment of vacation hours and they are asking us to repay a fairly large sum of money. Do they have any legal recourse?
