Do salary employees get paid while on vacation since vacation hours are earned?

Lets say for example you earned five days of vacation which totals 800.00


Do you get paid the 800.00 plus the days your not at work because of vacation if your on salary?|||No. You merely get paid the same whether you're on vacation or not. For example, if you're given 5 weeks of vacation, you'd still get the same check ever other week, regardless of whether or not you were on vacation for those two weeks or were in the office working for those two weeks. Instead of being earned like some companies make vacation time, salaried employees are simply given a set amount of vacation time.





Good luck! :0)|||No..you get to take the time off and continue to receive your normal salary - if you get paid $800 a week, that's what you get, not $800 salary plus pay for vacation.|||If you are on salary you get paid the same amount per day for normal work days or allotted vacation days. You do not get paid extra for vacation days, except in some cases if you have unused vacation at the end of the year. To avoid the latter, my employer makes sure that we take all of our vacation.

What is the average paid sick and vacation time in california?

I would like to request that I get paid sick days and vacation days in my next review. I have been at my job for almost 2 years (will be 2 yrs in July).|||There is no "average" and it is not required of employers that they even offer sick or vacation days - in California or anywhere else. Oops. There is an exception in the city of San Francisco actually that requires a certain number of sick days for employees that work in the city. Very weird, but that's the only place I currently am aware of that even has a requirement.





If you have been working there for almost two years, I wouldn't push your luck by "requesting" vacation or sick days. If simply may not be their policy to offer it to your position, or they don't offer it at all.

My company does allow us to turn in unused sick time for pay, so every 18 months I can turn in 20 days of sick time and receive 10 days pay, it's better than just having those unused days. It's a nice "bonus" every year and a half!|||%26lt;~ lab technician

For what it's worth - I don't recommend choosing employment based on paid time off. I would really think twice about hiring someone who seemed more interested in their time off than in what they could contribute to the organization. My two cents.

Question about company paid vacation time?

Can a company force you to take a weeks paid vacation if you have not yet accrued that week, thus becoming indebted to them for the time you have yet to accrue? I say it's against the law. I know it is, but can't find any language to back up my claim. Any suggestions? I can't find it on the U.S. Dept of Labor website.|||I think they can force you to take paid vacation, but if they didn't owe it to you, it is sort of dumb.|||Absolutely not. They can force you to take time accrued. But not time you do not have.


Contact your local labor department.


Look in the government pages of the phone book under State labor commission.|||yes they can all they have 2 do is shut down there it,s done companys do it all the time|||I would call your state's labor dept and find out for sure. I am not sure the legality of this practice, but my understanding is if you are classified as a full time employee - even in the Emperial Senate - you have to be paid for at least the minimum the company deems full time (if the minimum worked is 35, then they have to pay you for 35 hours - even if you don't have the vacation - if they are the ones responsible for your time off). So I would think that a company could not force you to take a vacation, for they would still legally have to pay you for the time off if you are full time. Or else you can go and collect unemployment for the difference from what you worked to what you are supposed to for full time hours.





I hope this helps you out. So go to the Emperor (carefully, of course) and let him know what you know.|||WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT. YOU REALLY THINK THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO FORCE YOU TO OWE THEM THE TIME ? THAT MAKE NO SENSE TO ME. I'M PRETTY SURE THOUGH NOT POSITIVE THAT THEY CAN FORCE YOU TO TAKE THE VACATION OR LOOSE IT.|||You need to check your contract (if you have one) and/or your employee handbook first.

If I quit my job can they take my paid vacation time from me?

I am an administrative worker for a clinical research company and am hourly. I have accrued about 60 hours of vacation time, about a day of sick hours and a day or so of "personal" hours. If I give two weeks notice and refuse to stay longer even if they want me to can they take any of these earned hours away from me?





Thanks in advance for your answers.|||I've been in HR for 9 years - they can not take any vacation that you are due.....being due is the key word. depending on the company policy they may not owe all days at termination the same as you would be allowed to take as an employee who works all year. Check your company policy to determine the payout policy and how they count accruing in this situation....also, depending on the state you work in and/or company typically sick/personal is not paid out at termination.|||it is not so much them taking the vacation time from you as you leaving without using the benefit, use as much of the paid time-off you can and then quit|||Theoretically, yes---unless you have a work contract that specifically states they cannot and must pay you for them.....my advice is to take a nice, long vacation for personal reasons and find the job you want while being paid by the other one.|||companies get by saying you don't actually earn two weeks vacation on Jan 1. but rather you accrue them over the course of the year (1.3 days a month) so if you took 2 weeks vacation in march and then quit in april they could actually say you owe THEM and dock you..i quit a company but took three weeks vacation and turned in my notice after the first week they wouldn't pay me my last week i was only making about 300 a week so what's the point of a lawyer that would cost more to fight it.|||if you quit your job you will not get your time. schedual some vacation time and then after it's proved give them your 2 weeks.|||Best thing to do is to take that 60 hours of vacation time, sick and personal time and turn in your 2 weeks at the time of taking that time.

Are you also under contract with them?





From what I understand, if you quit a workplace and have earned time off, you are most likely going to forfeit that time. Certain places will probably pay you for it, but not all places.





Call your human resources department and ask them this question. If they state you will be loosing that time, then use it. Give them notice you will be leaving, but take your time off before you leave. So.... if you have two weeks off, request the time, when you get it, befor you leave give them your two week notice.|||No, they should pay you.|||I'm confused....do you want them to cut you a check for your vacation time, or are you going to put in your notice and not show up to work....hoping you can use that as your vacation time? Either way, sounds like a pipe dream to me.|||As long as you work out your notice, do a good job of course, you should recieve your vacation pay and personal hours when you recieve your last check....I'm not sure aobut your sick time.|||That depends on what your employee hand book says or your contract if you have one. I have worked for places that you loose everything if you quit but can keep it if you give notice. Others you lose it regardless of how you leave,|||You need to refer to your employee manual for this one.





Every company has a different policy on whether vacation time must be used or lost, so check the manual.





In my experience most companies have a "use it or lose it" when it comes to sick time. That is only supposed to be used if you are actually sick, so the theory is you don't actually "earn" it, you just can use it if needed. Personal time is usually viewed in this same light.|||NS, but my advice would be to take all that time at the same time you give 2 weeks notice, that way you've got $$ coming in while you look/start a new job or just take it easy.|||Yes.|||If it states in the agreement you signed when hired then you'll get it. If it states otherwise you won't. Look in the manual most employers give to you. It will spell out the terms and agreements of your employment and entitlements.

Should we get 10 non-paid vacation days at work?

Sometimes I just want a day off, and I don't care if I get paid or not. I think we should have the choice of taking these kinds of days. I know there are "sick days" but those are always looked down upon and sometimes, HR asks for doctors notes.|||Enlightened companies give their employees a lump set of time called PTO or Paid Time Off. This is to be used for all your needs, such as vacation, sick leave, etc. The benefit is you don't need to lie and say you are sick just because you just need a day off or have an emergency of some kind.





My employer gives me 160 hours (4 weeks) of PTO every year. In my mind, I generally think of this as 3 weeks of vacation and 1 week of sick days.

When the United Auto Workers return from their paid vacation, what will CEO Obama train them to do?

Do you get paid your vacation time after your fired?

I was recently fired from my job and was told that the company would pay me


for my vacation time which is seventy one hours. Is this true?|||This is an issue of company policy. The US has no Federal laws regarding the unused vacation time upon termination of employment. In all the jobs I have had, you would not be paid for unused vacation time is you were fired. Technically, these companies don't pay unused vacation time if you quit, but they routinely allow people to schedule remaining vacation time immediately before their resignation is effective.|||It actually depends on what state you are in as to whether it is required that they pay you your accrued vacation time. Not all states require them to pay it out to you at all. However, even if the state doesn't require it, many companies simply do as a matter of policy. Also, depending on the state you are in will determine when they are required to pay it out as well. For example, in California vacation time MUST be paid out upon termination, whether the employee quits or is fired. If the employee quits, the employer has three days to pay that person their final pay, including vacation time. If the employee is fired, the employer must hand that employee their final check right then and there!





Like I said, even if you don't live in a state that requires them to pay out your vacation time, it sounds as if that company has a policy of doing so anyway. That's a good thing! Good luck to you.|||Accrued vacation time, yes...usually within 91 days although some rules require more timely payment.





There is sometimes confusion about what "counts" as vacation time. You must earn ("accrue") the vacation time according to the written rules of your employer before the date you are terminated for it to be paid out to you.|||Only if it is written, you should call your local Labor department.|||Yes those are hours earned.|||Of course.

If I were you I would go into HR and ask whether or not you could be considered as a full-time employee. Remind them that you have been working for them for over the past two years working full time hours without the benefits.





They may not be able to provide what you are looking for - they have laid off several people in the last 2.5 years is an indication that the business is suffering on one level or another.





You would be considered as a cheaper alternative and may be the very reason you have not been laid off.





Going in and asking should not be a problem. In the meantime, start prospecting for a new place to work. Check out what others are paying, see whether there are any benefits.





I think with employment as it is this day and age (currently) you might be at a disadvantage as are many workers needing their jobs and fewer and fewer jobs are available what with all of the lay offs nationwide.





It doesn't hurt to ask them whether or not they would consider you as a full time employee with benefits? You have been there long enough to do this.

Q: Does an employer have to offer its employees vacation pay? If so, what are the guidelines? A: Under the Texas Payday Law an employer is not required to offer fringe benefits such as vacation pay, holiday pay or other pay for hours not worked. However, if the employer offers these benefits in writing, the employer would be obligated to comply with their own policy or employment agreement. The employer has the right to establish policy on how these benefits are earned, accrued, used and if they are paid out when not used, barring any policy which might be considered discriminatory as defined by law.





So, you need to find out what your employee handbook says. If it says you are to be paid for it, then yes, you should be paid for it.|||Check your state law. In California, accrued vacation must be paid, in most other states no. It is based on company policy or CBA.|||No, the employer isn't required by law to pay you for them, although many or most employers will.|||it depends on your employer. they can differ... in one previous job i held, unused vacation was paid out at 75% when employment ended unless fired for cause.

Mayeb say my last working day will be in two weeks, but I would still be in payroll for 10 more days after that? can they deny my vac because I am quitting???|||You say that you have "accumulated" 10 paid vacation days. If that is so, then you will recieve compensation for those days when you quit.





Some companies don't allow you to "earn" vacation. They simply just state that after a year, you get two weeks; after 5 years you get 3 weeks, etc.





In those situations, since you aren't earning vacation by working a set number of hours per year, the company may not pay the vacation when you leave. When you leave an employer, the employer is legally obligated to pay you whatever you have "earned" while you were there.|||Absolutely you'll get paid. Getting vacation pay when you quit is really, really sweet.





They shouldn't give you a hard time about it. You might want to politely note, though, in your resignation letter that you do have 10 days accrued.|||No, you are still entitled to your vacation time, however, you still have to follow their procedures to recieve your paid time off. So if you need to put in a request or some other type of form, do it, ASAP so that you can be paid for those days.|||My suggestion would be to just use your 10 days of vacation time before you give the two week notice because there is the possiblity of being denied; so why risk losing your EARNED vacation time|||In my experience if I have had accumulated vacation time it is added to my final check. You wouldn't still be on the payroll for ten more days because vacation time is usually based on hours that you have already worked. I would talk to the payroll person just to make sure though.

Should I get paid for vacation time I did not use?

I work as a nanny and my boss just gave me a month's notice. We had agreed that I would be paid for 1 weeks vacation. Since, I have not taken that week should she have to pay me for this? Also, what would be the best way to approach this with her?|||This is why it's best to get these agreements in writing, up front. The law states that you must be paid for vacation time that has been accrued but not earned. So, for example, if the boss credits you with 1.54 hours every two weeks (40 hours/year), you should be paid for the time you have "earned" through your temrination date. Under this scenario, if you worked for 9 months, you'd be owed about 30 hours.





However, probably what your boss was thinking was more of a "use it or lose it" plan, wherein you get "credited" for 40 hours of vacation when and if you decide to take it. In this case, the vacation time is not earned, and no payout is due at the time of termination. Most plans for small employers or home service employees (such as you are) are based this way.





If your employer didn't specify, and you don't have anything to show that you were accruing vacation time (like a pay stub showing how many hours you'd earned to date), you are out of luck in terms of requesting a payout at termination. If it's any consolation, it's not uncommon for employers to provide a bonus for good service to a departing home service worker - maybe she will be generous.|||yes you should if they needed you back at work, but on the other hand you can spread out your vacation on special w/es and get pd for it and enjoy it as well|||i believe that you shouldn't be payed if you didn't take the vacation you both agreed that you would if and only if you took the vacation but you didn't so there for you shouldn't get payed for something that you didn't do.|||Yes, your vacation is part of your compensation.

If a person is terminated from a job in NJ should they get their accumulated vacation time paid to them?

When someone is terminated from a job in the state of new jersey, by law, are they supposed to get paid the vacation time that they accumulated prior to the termination?|||FRINGE BENEFITS - The New Jersey Wage Payment Law and Selected Labor Laws enforce separate benefit packages which the employer has agreed to provide, such as payment of holidays, vacation, sick leave and personal days, and reimbursement of certain expenses.





That's from the NJ Department of Labor Website. So, if your company's policy is stated that is pays out time at termination, then they have to pay you. But only if that's their policy for everyone.

Do the lack of paid vacation days raise our health care costs in the US compared with the rest of the world?

The US worker gets approximately 13 days of paid vacation a year. Most other First World Countries get many more days. France: 37 days. Italy: 42 days. UK: 28 days. Canada: 26 days. Japan 25 days. Germany 35 days.|||are you saying that they get more rest, so they get sick less?





maybe?





also, part of it may be the socialized systems that can often treat ailments before they become major problems...





like if a poor person gets a rash in the US... he may just ignore it because he doesn't have the money, it gets worse, becomes infected... and he ends up having to go to the hospital for several days... at great cost...





in another nation, he can see the doctor with no worry of the cost... no hospital stay... just one GP visit and some cream





EDIT: related note... you want to freak out a European friend... tell them how much vacation you get...





they will laugh at you and call you stupid...|||Can you post some stats how one related to the other?|||Thanks to Obama I got the year off|||Nope.

Would giving every American a 5 week paid vacation result in a healthier and happier nation?

Most Americans are overweight and know it, but they do nothing to combat it. Many say they are unhealthy because they don't have time to eat right so giving everyone a 5 week vacation wouldn't that give people more of a reason to try a diet and lose weight in that time.|||No, Only other countries can do those things. Sad|||so who is going to pay for you to site around for 5 weeks?

Most American workers DO NOT get vacations ... they are typically forced to use them as sick days... if they even get those.|||The most overused excuse for not exercising is lack of time.

Should i wait til after my paid vacation to quit my job?

i have nothing against my current employer but i graduated from college with my business degree 6 months ago and now i'm trying to find a more professional job related to business. (i currently work in a restaurant.) i wonder if its unethical for me to stay just until after my paid vacation which i should be due for next month.|||don't quit until you have found a new job. As hard as jobs are to find nowadays you don't want to quit the one you have and not be able to get another one.BTW your paid vacation is probably well deserved!! Good luck and congrats on graduating!|||No, I would do it do to the fact it is something that is owed to you.|||just keep you job there no jobs out there dont quit until you find

Has anyone else had a hard time getting a paid vacation check from Best Buy?

My boyfriend worked at Best Buy for a few months. He took a weeks vacation. He quit the day that he was supposed to come back. In the employee handbook, it states that an employee can quit at any time without any repercussions. He thought that he might have a hard time getting his paid vacation since he quit, but he called corporate office and they said that he was still entitled to it and should check with the store office. He called the store office and the associate said that he would receive a check in the mail. When a week went by and no check came, he called them back and they said that it was no processed and that they would resubmit it and he'd get it in the next cycle's paycheck (which was today). Still no vacation pay. This is getting ridiculous. It's been almost 4 weeks since his vacation and still no vacation pay. What rights does he have in regards to getting his pay? He's already talked to corporate and basically, they said that yes, he's still entitled to it.|||With the cost of legal fees it would be best to wait it out . . He needs to call the corporate office and let them knoe he is getting the run around. he needs to document everything, like the first time he called corp. and spoke with such and such she confrimed his vacation and it would be processed. he needs to speak with the store manager or the person when he was employed he who would handle the paychecks.





If he belongs to a union he needs to contact them and the fair labor act and get some info. Looking online he should find some numbers who can beter assist, Good Luck!|||i don't think that he should be eligible for vacation pay after 3 months of working at a company. i don't get vacation pay for one year and i work in a big company. if he was intittled to it, he should of recieved it already.. i think u should go personally into the office and explain the situation to them and if they deny you ask for proper documents, then contact a local lawyer.

Leaving job, how do I get my paid vacation I earned?

I was informed I had a month to find a job. Due to the economy they are doing away with my job. My situation is kinda different. Im working in my second year now, and I get two weeks vacation. But now that I am leaving im not sure if I will get it, and if they have to pay it. I want to ask, but afraid they will ask me to leave now, rather than give me the month grace period. Any ideas?|||Do you have an HR department? If so go talk to them. Every job I've had they always pay accrued but not taken vacation time (not sick or personal time).





If no HR ask your supervisor or payroll. Tell them you are preparing for your layoff and want know how everything will happen.|||tell them you are taking the vacation days to look for a job and see what they say|||Check with HR to see if you can get it. Some companies will pay it out while others view it as 'use it or loose it'.





Just because they gave you notice doesn't mean you don't qualify for Unemployment as well. First day you are off work you contact the employment commission in your area and file for benefits. Since you aren't quitting, you should qualify. Fact is, you can contact them now (or check the online site) and see how things look before the time comes.





Best of luck on your new job, what ever it might be.|||Do you have an employee handbook/manual?





You should and it should spell out what happens to accrued, but not used, vacation time at termination.





Don't be afraid to ask hr/your boss about your vacation time, they already feel like crap for having to do layoffs and by giving you 30 day notice they are doing the right thing.





The worst that is going to happen is that you find out that if you don't use it, you lose it. Which is what you think you have now, so no win, no lose. Or you find out you can take it to interview or with you.





Good luck in your search|||The month grace period does not have any effect on your vacation time. Unless they told you to find a new job and are paying you for a month, without you having to show up for work. That would be two weeks notice plus vacation time.


If your still working for that month they owe you for the vacation time.|||It depends on company policy, but most companies would pay you for the accrued vacation. Don't be afraid to ask. If you have an HR department, ask someone there.|||Depending on your company's vacation policy, you may or may not be paid for those hours. If you accrue time, it should be paid to you at the time of termination. If it is a "use it or lose it" plan (for example, every January 1 you receive 40 hours of vacation time), it may not carry over or accrue. In that case, you would not be eligible for a payout.





You are asking a legitimate question - "how are my accrued vacation hours paid?" If you are terminated for asking something that simple, you'd have cause to sue. You may also want to just ask for a copy of their vacation policy to see if it meets the accrual criteria described above.

If an employer paid too much vacation pay, can we deduct the overpayment from the employee's paycheck?

We overpaid vacation pay to an employee. Can we deduct this overpayment from the employee's paycheck?|||I don't see why not, if it was a legitimate mistake. But before you do that, make sure that it is explained to the employee so it is expected and does not come as a surprise. Also, depending on what the amount is, it might be a good idea to spread the deduction out of a few pay periods, or if the employee gets overtime, to deduct it from the overtime. The thing to remember is that a sudden, much smaller paycheck could impose a financial burden through no fault of the employee.





A fat paycheck is never a problem, but a very skinny one may very well be.|||I would say yes. If you had accidentally overpaid them for anything else then you are entitled to the money back. If it is a true error then you should be able to deduct the money from a future paycheck. If the employee will no longer be getting paychecks from you, you could possibly go to court to get the money back but you would probably spend more to get it than what it is worth.





This is similiar to if a bank had made a mistake and put money into your account that should not be there. I have known a couple of people who got into trouble because this happened to them and they spent the money and tried to argue that it was the bank's fault and that they were not liable to return the money. The found out that even though the bank goofed in putting the money there, it was not their money.





Finally, think about this. Is getting this money back worth losing the employee? There is always the chance that the employee will quit because of this. Some employees are valuable enough to overlook instances like this. However, beware. If you bend the rules once, it will set a precedent and any employee can expect you to do the same for them.|||Well there is probably a regulaton you are supposed to follow...but from experience, yes. A few years ago the hospital where i worked over paid a large group of people on their differential fro management duties. They deducted the overpayment from the next checks.|||sure can|||I agree with the answers above - in summary, yes but think about the effect on the employee.





However, please also check to ensure that there is no state law which prohibits or (more likely) restricts your ability to recover. If the amount was large, your state may require you to recover it by installments.|||probably - I would give the employee a letter of explanation PRIOR to that corrective paycheck being distributed.





Note the error, amount that should have been given, and apologize for the mistake. Notify them of the amount of the next check that will have the correction so that the employee can prepare their finances.





best of luck|||The employee did not earn the money and yes the employer can deduct it from the employee's pay. The employee knows he was overpaid and should have brought it to his employer's attention so it could get corrected Now he shouldn't have a b*tch if they take it back.|||You should be able to. However, it must be stated clearly in the employee's contract what the vacation pay is. If this is the case, then you can deduct from the person's paycheck. You should put a note in there saying why you did this and what the reasoning is as most employees will check to see if you're correct.

How much paid vacation do carpenters receive?

Hubby has been a dedicated employee to a very small company for nearly 5 years, and still only receives one paid week off per year. He does receive raises, but no health/dental insurance. I think he should ask to get at least 2 weeks off per year, that's a basic for new employees at most companies.|||He could ask for an unpaid week vacation. A lot of companies today don't even offer paid vacations or any benefits for that matter. If you want extra benefits and little extra cash maybe a data entry business will benefit you. Data collection and entry is a huge business. You can have a home based business and get tax benefits by simply entering 10 license plates a month. It is a great way to earn extra income and only takes a few minutes a month.

Companies do not have to have a reason to fire you. However, they don't usually fire you for taking a legitimate sick day.|||you can't be fired for being sick. get a doctor excuse if need be. also collect unemployment. yes, you still get the week vacation or you file with workforce development

Is earned vacation paid to me if I choose not to return from FMLA leave?

I am on FMLA due to child birth and have decided not to return to work. I have 3 weeks of vacation earned for 2009. Will my company have to pay me for my time if I don't go back to work. I was planning on giving 2 weeks notice prior to the end of my leave. Any answers will be greatly appreciated.|||It depends on how it is accrued. You said you earned it for 2009. If your vacation time is renewed on a calendar year basis and it is available from January 1 of the new year even though you have not worked the year yet, it is probably accrued through the work year. In other words, if you are actively employed the Company allows you to take the time before you have earned it. However, if you terminate your employment you are only paid for what you have earned but not taken. In this case some employees may end up owing the Company if they have taken more time than they have earned. But if your vacation renews on the anniversary of your hire date each year and/or you were required to work a year before you were able to take the time, your vacation has already accrued and you should be paid out upon termination.|||You could just go ahead and put in your notice. They will have to pay your for the vacation time you earned on your final paycheck. You may not have accrued any vacation time during you FMLA leave, they are allowed to not do that.|||If you cant, some companies let you add the vacation into your leave. So you'd be getting paid those weeks, while on extended leave, so make out the same.|||By law they are suppose to pay you because that is an earned income.

I get vacation days on Sunday, Aug 8th since I started working at the company on Monday Feb 8th as we get 5 days after 6 months. If my last day is Friday Aug 6th, will I still get paid out vacation days still?|||Probably not. You have not met your required commitment in working 6 months.

HR can tell you how much, if any, time you have banked. If you are in the US, vacation pay is not regulated by the government, and companies don't have to pay you for your time off. Most all do in order to be competitive.|||I can't say for your company specifically, but typically you are paid the same for vacation time as you are for work time if you are a salaried employee. Being salaried means you get the same pay each pay period, regardless of hours worked, vacation, holidays, etc. You are paid for the job that you do, not the hours that you work.

If I resign a job with enough vacation to last until next year, can I get paid for vacation next year also?

I have about 3 weeks of vacation time left at my current job. I am planning to resign such that December 12, 2008 is my last day, and take vacation until the end of the year. Obviously I will get paid until December 31, 2008. But since I have some leftover days, could I technically be considered an employee on January 1, 2009, at which point I could take my 3 weeks of vacation time for 2009, and get paid for those extra 3 weeks?





I assume it depends on the company and I will have to ask payroll, but is it typical to allow that?|||I have a feeling you are not technically an employee on Jan 1st 09, therefore you should not be entitled to additional vacation. I believe, even if you resign later, you would be entitled to a percentage of the 09 vacation, depending on how many days you have worked in 2009. It doesn't make logical sense otherwise.|||Nope, it won't work. You are no longer considered an employee as of your last day of work The leftover days won't count as additional days of employment towards any benefits or vacation accruals.|||It would be very unusual for them to give you vacation for next year also|||at my current and previous jobs; no.

Got fired right after my vacation. Can I still get paid for the time I was on vacation?

I work for a small company in CALIFORNIA and there is no employee handbook setting the policies on whether the employee gets paid on vacation or how the employer can discharge employees. I did, however, asked my boss before I left for my vacation to see if I'd get paid during the days I was on vacation. He told me he'd pay me out of his own pocket and not from company payroll because he does not want his wife to find out (his wife is very stingy). So I went on my vacation this whole time thinking that I'd get paid one way or another for the time I was gone.





Today's Friday, I just came back from my 2.5 week vacation and was planning to return to work the following Monday. To my surprise, my boss' wife just called my cell phone right after I got back home from the airport and said I don't have to go to work anymore.





What are my rights here? Am I still entitled to get paid for the days I was on vacation?|||California law requires employers to pay out any accrued vacation time to an employee immediately upon termination, regardless of the reason for termination. The state of California is very generous to their employees and will side with the employee over the employer for most cases.





You should contact your employer and demand they pay you, otherwise you need to contact an attorney and they will take care of it for you immediately.|||call the Department of Labor in your state. firing by cell phone is not right (unless you work for a temp agency, and they just screw around with your life, anyway). You need to know the labor laws in CA on that one.|||This sounds like a family problem,not an employer. I would call whoever owns the business and see about getting the job back or looking at a severance package. This seems like a business with no fut re. How can you trust them? Maybe it was what you needed to find a more reliable employer.





You are probably depending on the good nature or conscience of you boss as to whether you get paid. Unless you had a contract with the company it was probably an 'at will' arrangement. I really would suggest you check out the businesses and their backgrounds before you jump into another job. Employment is two way. Just because someone may hire you, does not mean it is a good place to be.|||well since your boss was going to pay you out of his pocket I really don't think you will. Go to your ex boss and find out why you were fired. and ask him if he still is going to pay you. good luck.

Are companies required to offer paid vacation time?

A friend of mine said that the policy at work has changed for paid vacation time except for the workers who have been here before it began! She will only be allowed to get 10 days of paid sick days which could only be used at the end of the year, please help!|||No, companies are not required to offer paid vacation time but, if you are lucky, you have that option. In today's economy, many of the things we used to have offered to us are no longer available. Health care coverage is costing the employee much more and covering less; overtime is required when necessary and people are happy to get it, if it isn't offered often. Some get no sick time which is paid; some have no vacation but have to take a day without pay when they are ill. Those who have a job are grateful to have one and are not complaining since so many have lost their jobs and are looking for any means to pay their bills. It is a different world and it is time to be thankful for the good fortune to have a job despite the cuts in the perks.|||No, why would you think that?

Theirs. I know in florida, there's not a law that make the owner pay for vacation time. Could we do something about that, if you pay one you should pay all.|||you answered your own question, no they dont|||You said it was not against the law. You were right.

Can my company refuse my two weeks paid vacation or tell me I have to split up the days I take?

I have 2 weeks paid vacation as of Jan. 1st before i have only taken a couple days off at a time and they require me to work late and finish extra work for the days i'll be gone but i can't exactly finish 2 weeks of work early so what happens if I insist on this and they tell me no? Can they fire me for taking earned vacation?|||Companies call it two weeks vacation because that's the equivalent length of time, but few allow employees to take that much time except under special circumstances. It is at their discretion based on the workload whether they approve any time off. So effectively, the last part of your question, if you take two weeks without approval, it's not vacation, it's job abandonment, and they can fire you.|||Your company has to approve your vacation request. They do not have to let you go if it will disrupt business.





If they require you to work late to make up the work, they have to pay you any overtime for the extra time.|||Your company has to approve your vacation request. They do not have to let you go if it will disrupt business. Ittz your right since you work!!!!!!!





If they require you to work late to make up the work, they have to pay you any overtime for the extra time.Yeaa becuase then it wouldnt be fair for you.... Working for nothing


FIGHT FOR YOUR VACATION :)


!!!


HOPE I HELPED|||Most companies will work with you if you give them enough notice. I would put in for your vacation and get it approved prior to putting any money down on it. I would also get it in writing.

When you give notice at a job, should you be paid for vacation time accrued?

My husband has 3 weeks paid vacation a year. He gave a months notice and worked it out. He has therefore accrued one week of his vacation, and expects to be paid this. His former employer says you only get that if he fired him. Who is correct?|||There's no law protecting "vacation" pay or "sick" pay. Your husband will only be entitled if he has an employment contract that states it is legally his.|||It depends on your contract or company policy. He should discuss this with the HR manager.|||Typically, most companies pay out accrued vacation, wether your fired or your resign. I would check with your state office of employment and find out what the rules are in your state. I think the former company is trying to not pay what they owe.|||Whether or not he gets money for his accrued vacation is entirely the choice of the employer. There is no law stating that accrued vacation must be paid. Your husband is advised to check his employment handbook/manual, if the firm has one. Any policy on such would be stated therein.

Should I get 401K and insurance or paid vacation?

I have been working for Happy Joe's, a family restaurant for three years. I have been an assistant manager for 1 of those years. I worked full time for about 6 months, and now that I am in college I only pull about 30.





Should I be eligible for 401k or insurance or paid vacation by now? And if I am, how should I go about getting these things?|||So you have worked there for 3 years and have no clue if you have 401K, or paid vacation?? My guess is that you have neither or they would have notified you at some time, either as a asst manager or when especially when you were a full time employee.





When you started working there 3 years ago, they should have given you some kind of booklet or brochure of your benefits. Since this is a small business, my guess is that they cant afford to offer benefits or that they have constant turnover of employees.





good luck|||It depends on the benefits package offered by the company. I would talk with your manager and/or read the employee handbook if there is one.





If they don't have a 401k, you can open up a Roth IRA and start saving for retirement on your own.|||Most likely not - most restaurants don't offer any kind of benefits to part time workers.|||That depends on the employment benefits offered by the company.

Do you think North Americans should get more paid vacation time from their employers?

In Europeans countries the average vacation package is 4 weeks after 3 years of employment.


How much paid vacation time does your employer give you?|||America is the #1 economy in the world; it takes a lot people working a lot of hours to produce that.


It took me 18 years with my company to get 4 weeks of vacation time; it's nice to finally get it! It sure goes fast...





"Should" is a funny word; there are so many differences between European and American economies.|||no|||I work for myself so I don't get paid when I don't work.|||There isn't an American employee around that wouldn't like to get more paid vacation. The better question would be "What can be done to encourage employers to give more paid vacation time?"|||I was under the impression that most Europeans actually got more like six weeks per year. I get 18 days, but only after three years of service. I'm at a high-tech company based in California.|||I get 5 weeks paid vacations and time off, 10 paid holidays, 5 paid sick days and 5 paid personal days. Total of about 8 weeks off.





I got this benefit after my first year working for the company as an entry level.





I work for an american company - it is rate but they exist. I also demanded additional perks before I signed up. You have to be in a high demand line of work, impressive grades and impressive work history. Most people don't know that vacation time can be negotiated.





Tell everyone, it pays to be a nerd. I have never used my sick days and personal days.|||It depends on where you work. In academic environments you are usually out (paid) when school is out. that can be pretty sweet!|||Companies that give 15 days of vacation eachyear could easily make you have 1 whole month off after 1.5 years of working there.

What would you do if I gave you a two weeks paid vacation?

I'm The Boss, and I gave you a two weeks paid vacation. (You don't have work for the next 2 weeks, but you still get paid). What would you do with your two weeks?|||What most people do with their two weeks of paid vacation is more work - generally work around their house. Cleaning, scrubbing, fixing the lawn, pruning trees, getting their automobile fixed. That's what I normally do on a so-called vacation.|||Every vacacion is paid unless otherwise stated in the contract. I'd probably SLEEP!|||From you? I have a good job and my yearly entitlement is 6 weeks paid vacation plus 10 days at Christmas. Why do I need more from you ? I am going to Tahiti this year, in the fall.

Just wondering what people think of an employer who wont give reasonable paid vacation?

i have been working at this company for 34 years my last increase in paid vacation time was 24 years ago. After 34 years, I get the same vacation hours that 10 year employees get. Just wondering what people think.|||I'm thinking the company knows that they have you until old-age retirement, and that they thus have no incentive to give you any more paid vacation.





Have you sat down at a formal meeting with your boss, and asked for more paid vacation?|||Not sure how your company policy is but most company's will set a maximum number of days that you accrue per year, and that is all you get. Have you hit the maximum amount of days allowed?





I don't think anything, my current company has a maximum of 20 days per year that each person can get, and that is it.|||Here in Australia, everyone gets 4 weeks after 1 year of working.


After 10 years, you get an extra 8 weeks, then at 15 years another 4 weeks extra and so on each 5 years after that.


I'd ask your boss, no harm it !


34 years, wow, I think you should be getting a gold medal too!

Is it okay to go on FMLA once a year for an extra 3 month paid vacation?

Now - don't get upset about it. It's all good - it's like having another 3 months paid vacation.





Would you do it even if you hated the company?





It's not my fault they offer FMLA.|||1) FMLA is UNPAID





2) To do what you suggest is immoral and makes you a scumbag





3) If they verify you will be fired for cause





Please see a doctor for a transplant to become human.|||You need to do some research. You can go on FMLA. It's not paid time off. You have to have a valid reason why. You just can't say it's personal. The federal government made it a law to require employers to hold a person's job, salary, hours, etc. while they are out. If it's for medical reasons, you still have to have a doctor's note saying why you were out.





If you want a 3 month vacation, take a leave of absence. Guaranteed if you do this every year, you are going to screw yourself. Here is the web site for the Dept of Labor. You can brush up on what you are entitled to as an employee.|||FMLA is NOT necessarily paid. All FMLA does is guarantee your position or a comparable or better one will be available to you when you get back. Most people do not get paid or do not get their full pay on FMLA but their seniority and benefits continue.





I would recommend against abusing FMLA as you can be forced to pay back any pay you do receive as well as benefits etc.





Even for people who really are ill the company keeps in touch with doctors etc. to see how you are doing and encourages the doctors to release you to return to work ASAP or if it is for a family member you may have to release enough records so they know you really do have an ill family member for whom you are responsible.





I mean -- you cannot for example say to your cousin Alice ``I will take care of your mother because I can get FMLA so don`t worry about it.`` But if it is your parent or grandparent or child or spouse who lives with you -- that is what it was meant for.





Your attitude sucks. If you ever want a promotion or anything you need to step up.|||HUH?


I think they would catch on if you have a family medical leave every year. That is pretty unethical. If I hated a company I would probably find a job. It is not your fault they offer it. It is your fault though when so many deserving people don't receive it, because bad apples like you make it harder for them.|||thats for pregnant women





its illegal to claim it and not need it.


you will be fired and probably jailed for stealing

Do all full time jobs off paid vacation?

I just applied for a job at a restaurant called Flying J for a full time hostess position. Every place I've worked at always offers paid vacation for full time employees. I'm not sure if this job offers paid vacation or not. I do know they offer benefits such as dental, medical, vision and life insurance. Do all full time jobs offer paid vacation or just some?|||It varies from company to company. It is not mandatory for companies to offer it.|||No, they don't, and won't if they not a good company!

Are National Holidays deductible from your paid vacation time?

My job contract says 4 weeks of paid leave per year which can be used for holidays,sick time or vacation. My employer wants to deduct 9 days of National Holidays from this time if i am not working on those days. Is this the Norm? This had not been addressed in the contract.|||It sounds fair. Let's remember, there are jobs that people are obligated to work over the holidays, like hospitals, banks, some government jobs that service the public, etc. There are those national holidays where people don't necessarily have to take off, but have the option, such as Martin Luther King Day, Presidents Day, whatever. If you don't want to use them, so be it. There are probably designated holidays that are not counted into this number, such as Christmas, Labor Day, Thanksgiving. You should check that out first, before having a fit.|||Do they have a holiday schedule? Most companies list the paid holidays they give employees. Since you are under contract, it is probably covered by part of the 4 weeks. You stated in your question that holidays are part of them.|||It should be explained in your Company Handbook. If your company is open on Holidays then they might have holidays added into your Vacation Package. Sorry for the bad news...

Can an employer deny insurance benefits, paid sick time, and paid vacation time from a full-time employee?

My fiance works for a company that deny's insurance benefits, paid sick days, and paid vacation days, to ANY employee who is not management. Is this legal in Indiana?|||Benefits are just that - benefits - not requirements. A company is not obligated or required by law to provide benefits, and can choose to make benefits available to whoever meets the criteria that they set.|||Yes, the company can decide based on "groups" like management/non-management. or FSLA exempt/non-exempt" Labor Laws suck!!|||Yes it is legal.|||Deny? No, they can't.





BUT, they ALSO don't have to PROVIDE it.





So. If it's there for HIM, and they tell him he can't use it, then that's illegal. But if they only provide it to management, that's perfectly legal. Companies aren't required to GIVE you anything like that.

Should I be paid for vacation if I was on maternity leave?

I was on maternity leave from March through August. But technically I was to come back in July. But I normally take my vacation in July. So I assumed that I would be paid 2 months for maternity and not paid in June. And then paid vacation pay in July. And come back to work in August. That sounds right, correct? But my job didn't pay me for my vacation. I guess they are saying that I was still on leave. But I should still get my vacation pay I think. What should I tell them?|||adding vacation time to your maternity leave is something that should be prearranged with your employer. there are no labor laws specifically outlining to use of vacation time for maternity leave so you will need to review your company's policies. if you already had the vacation time in your bank meaning you already earned it then you may be able to work something out if you employee is lenient. also you do not earn additional vacation time while on any type of leave. If you are a teacher or 10 month employee then yes you should be paid for the summer months as long as you are still on contract.


i would simply ask my employer if you could use your vacation time towards your july leave.|||It's something you'll have to work out with your human resources department.





If you didn't ask specifically for the vacation, it's unlikely that they'll just pony up without being asked. Assumptions are never wise when you're talking with number crunchers.





The FMLA only provides for unpaid leave, so you're at the mercy of your company's policies.|||they should have paid you for all of that time|||Hard to comment because I think I am in a different country to you. And all awards and entitlements are different.


But if you 'always' take July as holidays and they didn't pay you because they assumed you were on maternity leave, then you still have your annual holidays owing to you.


Speak to them, they may either pay you or let you have the time off.|||Maybe it's just a mis communication. You thought they would pay you because it's what you usually do. I would explain the situation to them and see what happens. I know I've been in a situation where they only allow the 6 weeks maternity leave and then your done. Unless you have a dr. note stating you need longer time off most companies don't accomidate. You must have a understanding employer. I wouldn't mess around with it. Go to your human resources and hash out the problems. Good Luck!

I am a hair stylist that is getting 2 weeks paid vacation. How do I know how much I am entitled to?

My boss told me that he would pay me with 2 weeks paid vacation, but didn't tell me how much.|||You should inquire to your boss how much you are to receive. Furthermore please clarify your question, are you salaried or do you get paid by the head? Worst case scenario he will pay you for a 40 hour work week at minimum wage.|||ask, there is nothen wrong for asking|||Ask him.|||Why don't you ask your boss.I'm sure he would be kind enough to answer you with any questions you have about your two weeks off.If he pays you too little, Why don't you just ask for only one week off instead of two.

Does my employer owe me pay if I quit while on paid vacation?

I was on paid vacation for 3 days on the 3rd day I hd to quit du to extenuating circumstances as I am moving for school and I simply cant afford 2 rents. Do they have to pay me for the 2 days I was off paid? This is in the state of Florida.|||if you were already taking the vacation time and hadnt finished it then yes they need to pay you out for your vacation time. however, the smarter move wouldve been to use up the vacation time, and THEN quit... just in case. but i believe if you quit before using your vacation time, they do not have to pay you out.|||Most employers will pay you for the hours that you worked plus any earned time off benefits. In most instances they are required to pay this as it is part of the benefits offered with their employment. Most employers put earned vacation time money in a separate account or in escrow, so the money is there already when it is called upon to be paid out.

In California is there a minimum number of non paid vacation days that an employer can give out?

My boss said that we are only allowed to take three non-paid vacation days off per year and we get federal paid holidays. Is that legal?|||You are not entitled to any vacation time. All vacation time and how it is use is at the discression of your employer not you|||You have no right, to any vacation days at all.





So whatever your company wants to give, paid or unpaid, is up to them.

Do the army reserves get the 30 paid vacation days that active duty soldiers get?

I am curious because I wanted to go active duty but because there are no 68W (health care specialist) jobs available currently for active duty I have decided to go reserves because I can get 68W M6 (LPN). Could you please help me decided if the reserves will be good for me? And do the reserves get the 30 paid vacation days?|||Good news: 28 days of vacation per month





Bad news: You don't get paid for it.





If you get mobilized you will accrue leave at the active duty rate.|||I was going to e-mail you but you have it blocked which is not good when you have a closing follow up question.

Are you supposed to tip on an all inclusive paid vacation?

Im going on my first all inclusive vacation to Mexico and wanted to know if I am suppossed to tip on an all inclusive paid vacation?|||You're really not suppose to tip on an all-inclusive vacation. A lot of hotels frown upon that. I typically when given good service, sneak and give them an additional tip. Some places fire staff for accepting tips from the customer.|||I think that generally no. I stayed at a Sandals all inclusive, and it was mentioned in brochures, and online, everywhere no tipping. I believe it actually said it on their shirts too, just had "no tipping" written on them. It says all inclusive for a reason. It is hard to get used to the idea of it though.|||When we went to an all inclusive we left $20 for the cleaning lady on the first day. It insures good service for the week!

I was just offered a months paid vacation to stop dating the girl I am with, is this illegal?

I work with family and they are not happy with the girl I have decided to date, and I was offered a month's paid vacation to stop dating my girlfriend. Is this illegal/abuse of power or is this just highly unprofessional/unethical?|||No, it is perfectly legal. It isn't considered unprofessional or unethical either. It is a family matter, not an employment matter. You can always say No. But, as much as I'm sure you don't want to hear this, you really ought to think about why they dislike her so much. Love is blind, and there is a lot you probably are not seeing. Consider your relationship carefully before you decide.|||NO thats is not illegal thats just massed up want your family want you to do im sorry but it is the true and if you really love this girl u will not broke up with her...it is all up to you...:( sad because you family cant tell you who u can date and who u cant date...:( Dont do it because then later u will be like want in the world did i do with her why did i hurt her why why why??


Just think about things really good before u do things.:(|||It is not illegal.


It would be highly unethical/unprofessional if you accepted the offer and then continued to date your girlfriend.


How important is this girl to you? You might consider finding a job somewhere else.|||Dude, unless she's the one you best take the vacation or I'd imagine you'll be fired.





It's not illegal or unethical, it's an offer, one that if you decline will probably result in you being fired.|||Look for any laws on the books suggesting a breach of professional and personal interests, if none can be found (and you are under contract) then I would enjoy the vacation.|||NAh, no law stuff here, just really bad ethics.........

Do people usually get their paid vacation payment before or after they leave for vacation?

I asked my boss for paid vacation time after working for 3 years with no vacation time, no paid holidays, no paid sick days and he tells me that when I come back from my vacation he will MAYBE give me paid vacation.





Do people usually get paid vacation payment before or after they leave for vacation?|||They usually get their pay on the regular payday for those days, but just didn't work those days. But I sure wouldn't depend on getting paid from your job without a lot firmer commitment from your boss.|||Paid holiday is usually just a normal pay cheque on a normal payday. i.e. you get paid on the 1st of each month - say you are paid in full on 1st of June then take a fortnights holiday in June and on 1st of July you get a normal full pay cheque again.

What do you think about legally mandated paid vacation?

In Ireland we have 20 days guaranteed paid holidays plus nine public holidays. On mainland Europe they have more.





There was an article in the Irish Times today stating that the US is the only Western country not to have legally mandated paid leave?





Why do you think this is? and what is your position on have legally mandated paid vacation?|||In America we can only dream about such benifits|||I think our country makes a whole lot more money than yours, considering everyone in it works an extra 20 days at LEAST than you guys do.





Is that good? Depends. You guys are paying for those extra holidays, I hope you know that. A company is not going to just take a 4 week loss, it is going to pass that on to the consumers.





In other words, everything you guys buy is (4/52=) 7.7% higher. That's like adding a 8% sales tax on EVERYTHING. It's nice, but that is pretty expensive.|||As far as I'm concerned, vacation should be earned, not mandated. I don't care what your job is, if you do not earn time off you should not receive time off. There is a reason our country outproduces almost every other country and that's because we work hard. We make good products and we take pride in that. Its the people who are afraid of work, or who are generally not successful enough to take a vacation that are clammoring for this. And my advice to these people is to work harder and work smarter. Because we don't need government mandated vacation to slow the productivity of this country.

In California how are commission based employees paid vacation benefits?

I was recently put on commission in my company. Previously we would get paid ten days vacation time based on our salary. Now that I am on commission my manager is telling me that my vacation time now goes against my draw. If I don't make my draw to cover those ten days then I get in the hole for the vacation pay. Is this legal?|||Sorry to say, that is one of the many disadvantages of working on commission: No paid vacation, and yes, I am afraid it is legal. Your best option is to make a lot of sales and thus make enough commissions to take as long a vacation as you want. Good luck!

Is it legal for an employer to give paid vacation?

Is it legal for an employer to give paid vacation time to employees that work on a Friday for a company sponsored event while not giving the same vacation time to employees that work a Sun-Thur schedule and do not work Friday? There are roughly 10 people that work on Sunday-Thur out of over 100 employees. Everyone else will receive the bonus vacation time, but the 10 individuals that work Sun-Thur whill not. Is this lega?|||Yes, they are basically receiving compensation for working the extra day.|||Unless the vacation is offered in violation of an EEOC discrimination guideline, or a violation of a union contract or collective barganing agreement, they may offer time to the people they choose|||Sure it is. Its the companies money. Just because you are jealous of those other employees doesn't make it illegal.

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

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.|||No law requires employers to grant hourly employees ANY paid time-off.


--


Same applies for per unit pay, so long as total pay meets minimum wage requirements.|||I would say YES, some employers don't offer that many days off. Days and vacations are a privilege and not something you earn|||This is why you people always ***** about the government controlling everything.


You think they really do !





There is no law that says you can have a vacation al all, anytime.





THIS IS WHY YOU NEED A UNION.|||Sure they can limit how many days you can take off and continue to work there, and there's no requirement for them to give any benefits including paid vacation days.

Are companies required to provide paid vacation to their employees in California?

My company doesn't provide any benefits whatsoever..No health benefits, overtime, paid vacation, raises..It's the ultimate dead end job..and the pay sucks too.


But by the law, aren't they supposed to at least provide their employees with paid vacation after a year of services? They say we can take a day off without pay providing the day can get covered by another employee.|||Vacation pay is not required in California either through state or federal law.|||No, they are not.


It is your choice to accept a salary or be paid by the hour for that company.


But, at the same time, you are free to leave, you are not obligated to the company.


So, the company is not obligated to you. You simply take it or leave what they offer.|||If you are an hourly worker, I know a lot of places don't offer paid vacation time.

Is it legal to take away paid vacation and sick time in Illinois?

Hi everyone,





Is it legal to take away paid vacation and sick time from full time employees in Illinois? My mom's work just did this to everyone in the company, excluding the heads of the departments so only those select few people will still receive paid time off. It is not a nationwide company, but a lot of people work for it. I don't know if it makes a difference, but she works at a Hotel. Are they allowed to do this? If not, who should she go about contacting?|||It may be ethically unfair but perfectly legal. With the rate at which companies are downsizing and laying people off they are perfectly within their legal rights to discontinue certain benefits amongst employees.|||Yes, it is legal.

They are doing that to save money. Don't be surprise if they start letting people go.|||there is no law that says anyone gets sick time or vacation in any state, it is a gift from the employer

Can an employer drop paid vacation and sick days?

I am in Washington State. I am aware that providing paid vacation time and sick days are not required by law but I need to know if when you are already provided that benefit can the employer take that benefit away with out prior notice? I have searched the web and have answers for several other states but not my own.|||PTO is a benefit or gift, it can be modified ,given or taken away with or without notice, you are correct that some states regard them as wages earned, however WA is not one of them|||Well, they can take away the sick time without notice. The PTO are considered to be earned benefits and fall under a separate law that requires the employer to provide notice to employees about changes in the accrued benefits. Some States also have laws to protect employees in this area. I would call the Department of Labor in your state and ask the question. Always go to the legal authority in the State in which you live for absolute answers related to accrued benefits.





Is it illegal, maybe, depends on the State in many cases but if I were to guess, I would say that the vacation hours, if earned, fall un ERISA laws and would require notification. The sick hours would not as they are really the "gift" that one of your responders indicated. Those benefits are considered to be "provided benefits" and do not fall under the same Federal laws. Again, check with your State Department of Labor for the real answers.|||Without a union, or a signed employment contract, a corporation in the state of Washington has you 'at will' - which means they can fire you for any reason at all. This means that theoretically, they can take away your benefits without prior notice.





I said theoretically. If the benefits you lost are substantial, it might be worth it to talk to a labor attorney in the state of Washington. Why? The judges in the state are know to be very, very pro-employee. Many of the cases I have read about rule in favor of the employee, citing that the company, being in the dominant position with regards to employment, has a heavier obligation to the employee than the employee does to the company.|||In many states they can't take away vacation that you have already accrued, but they can end the policy with no notice so you don't accrue any more. Most places they can take away sick days even those already accrued.|||Sure they can. You are not a union member so your employer can do whatever.

Teachers do you get paid vacation time during the school year?

Please only answer this if you are a high school teacher in the US.


I am sure you get paid sick leave but paid vacation time? How about personal days?|||It depends on the school district for whom you work.





I get paid for the Christmas break, fall break, spring break and other holidays during the school year, even though I do not work on those days.





Contrary to popular belief, I do *NOT* get paid for the summer, unless I teach summer school. The checks I receive during the summer are for work performed during the 10 month contractually decided school year.





Most (but by no means all) school districts spread out the pay you earn over 10 months over all 12 months, so that you get the same paycheck all 12 months of the school year.





Personal days vary from district to district, also. At the district in which I currently teach, I get 3 personal days but they are not "paid" - in fact, when I use them, I actually have to pay for them. In other districts in which I have worked, my personal days were paid.





Sick leave is paid, and in all districts in which I have worked, it has been 10 days per school year.





If you are considering accepting a teaching position, be sure and ask to see the contract up front and examine it carefully. Ask to speak to a union representative if you have any questions about the contract and how its provisions will apply specifically to you.

|||yes|||yes and no...I get paid for the christmas break and easter break...but I do NOT get paid for the summer. I plan ahead by putting money away during the year. I get 2 personal days per year, those are paid. I also get 3 family days...these are for children that are sick or in my case, when I need to take my parents' to a doctor appt.


So in general, you get a yearly salary that is divided into 22 pays. If a holiday falls during any given week, then you are paid for it through your salary.


And keep in mind that as a teacher, if you want to go away on vacation, you have to go at the busiest times of the year when everyone else goes.|||In my school district we get 7 sick days and 3 personal days. Vacation days are simply the same days that the students get off and yes these are paid.|||NO paid vacation...probably only profession where you work for 30 years without a paid vacation...not paid for spring break or winter break either...sick leave is about one day a month for nine months and personal days means you can use a sick day without using the excuse of sick...personal days come from the same source-sick days. only one personal day a year.|||.no you get paid unemployment and you may qualify for welfare|||In California, teachers do not get any vacation time. If you are not working, you are not paid. Of course, the pay is pretty good for when you are working. But with the workloads (I have 32-35 kids per class in my English classes) I always have to take work home. We also receive 10 days sick leave a year, which can be rolled over. In a way it's a good system and in another way, it's not.





I have informed my students how I get paid (not the dollar amount) so that they understand why I don't have all their essays graded in a week's time.
