The situation is a little complicated.
Employers are required to abide by their explicit statements of policy regarding vacation pay.
That is, if they say in your employment contract or employee handbook that they will pay out accrued vacation, then they have to.
If they don't mention it, then they don't have to.
If they have historically done so, you could probably argue that that constitutes established policy, even if it's not actually written down anywhere.
But the bottom line is as long as they never do it and never say they will, Oklahoma law does not require them to.
Any unused vacation time that you earned while you were working at the company, the company must pay you for. You earned it. They cannot legally withhold payment for it. See an attorney if they don' pay it.
MELiSSA iS COOL CHEA!
This can depend on company policy, so you need to check with the company's Human Resource department. In many companies, if an employee has unused vacation time, and if they were not fired, then the company will usually give the vacation pay. If this company is not willing to pay you for your earned vacation time, and you disagree with their decision, then call the Labor Board in your area; they may be able to help you, and they do not charge a fee for this service.
it all depends on the company and where you work, but i would say yes definently
Earned vacation pay means that you have worked the required amount of hours to receive a day off with pay. Unused means that it is available but you have not used it yet.
The unpaid vacation time is due the employee upon termination because the employee has earned it. Depends upon the policy of the company. In the US vacation time does not have to be paid upon leaving. Some companies do, others don't. Some places may have laws regarding the payment.
First - Vacation timing and amounts are decided by the employer. Check the company policy before determining if they are breaking any rules. Second - Vacations are considered earned wages, so if you don't take the time off, you can choose to be compensated for it.
If your question is "When I miss hours of work, can the employer refuse to call them paid vacation as I requested", the answer is "Goodness yes, the employer alone determines the vacation usage policy.
Yes. There is no law that says that an employer actually has to give you any paid vacation in the first place. A vacation, like sick leave, is a perquisite of the job. That's the reason that you must work for a minimum number of days before you are eligible for any time-off. If you resign or are terminated before you take your "earned" vacation, unless the employer chooses to compensate you for it, you simply forfeit the time off and any equivelant in pay because you did not take advantage of the perk attached to the job. As always, there can be exceptions (e.g.: if your employment is covered under a specifically worded contract). For further information contact your State Dept of Labor.
Yes, you are entitled to your vacation pay, but not your sick pay. If you owe vacation time, the amount of money you owe will be taken out of your last paycheck. Whether to pay unused vacation is the employer's discretion. Paid leave is unregulated.
Yes, it's legal. I called labor board to see if I could get it. Also, they don't have to honor your two-weeks notice.
Yes
