now he won't pay us for that time off. Is that legal?

The whole eight days are not Yomin Tovin, or holidays, just the first two days and the last day. His business was closed, you are not entitled to pay if the company was shut down. He is probably Orthodox or a very observant Conservative Jew. The same applies to Rosh Hashana, Shavous, Shemini Atzeres, Simcha Torah, Yom Kippur and Sukkot.

Legally, he should be paid for his drive time in this situation. Realize a complaint can cost him the job, they are due him all back wages, is it worth it?

You may not be able to, but the court can.  Is he under court order to pay child support?  Ask an attorney to follow up.\n\nI wish you Peace.

Is it past the statute of limitations on verbal agreements in your state. If not you probably could win at least part of it but than you have to figure out how you are going to collect it. It is not the duty of the court to make him pay you.

Yes, he should get paid for it.  Alternatively, if he resigned, he should also get paid for whatever he accrued.  But, this has to be earned time, and it has to be PAID time - not just vacation.  I will note, if he is an attorney or a consultant or part of a profession that is responsible for billable hours, he might not qualify.  He needs to check the policy also, b/c vacation time may not roll over from one year to another.\nMost companies don't voluntarily send you the money - he needs to ask for it, and he should ask for severance.  Usually saying you will file for unemployment unless they give severance prods them into it b/c that is cheaper than having to pay more to the state unemployment fund forever and ever.\nFor Max Power's question, the idea is that, if I were to give notice of quitting on May 1, effective May 15, I could simply take my two weeks earned vacation time starting on May 1, and get paid for the next two weeks - and never show up again.

If you are an hourly employee then you must be paid for overtime. It can't be compensated with time off. If you receive a salary you can be compensated with time off. There is no law about paid holidays or vacations. In California you must be given at least a 30 minute lunch break but it is unpaid. There is also a morning and afternoon 15 minute break that is paid.\n\nThe only problem is that you can report the employer and he can't file you for that but I guarantee you will be fired for something and never get promoted. I would find another job.

Walking off the job give the employer more pull .Too late to mention he should have finished the day and called in the next , to go to the labor association in your city .Ask a lawyer ( advice is free) .Good luck and try the labor association.

1. Even if your boyfriend did break the machine, if it was a accident, it's not his responsibility.  An employer has to take into account that loss of property can happen on a job.  The employer's insurance should cover it.\n2. If the employer has not taken legal action against your boyfriend, I would say he has no legal grounds for withholding a check.  I believe it is legal to withhold money from an employee's paycheck if they legally owe the employer money, but this is not the case. \n\nYour boyfriend should go to the Department of Labor office and let them know what is going on.  They should be able to work it out with the employer.

No most companies don't give vacation pay til you been their a year or longer.  Also if you would of taken an approved vacation they could not of fired you.

The question still isn't easy to answer. Your best bet would be to contact a local attorney, or take the advise of the previous responder.\n\nBut the truth is, this is a free country and they can't make you do anything. The answer might be, however, do you want to continue to work for them and receive a paycheck?

Hello,  no being on salary means that they can not dock his pay for being out.  If they do, then he is not on salary and would have to be paid overtime pay based on his average hourly pay.\n\nIf they have actually not paid him (not merley used a vacatoin day)  then you need a labor attorney. If they have always merely taken vacation days when he took off, there may not be a real case unless the police to not pay is a written policy to prove what theywould do.

Sounds to me like the worker has been turned into a de facto non-worker. I guess the 'stop field working' notice amounted to a 'we aren't paying' notice, and now the worker is on indefinite leave without pay.

This actually happened to me.\n\nI was part time at 9hrs a week and I was being paid at 18hrs a week.\n\nIt was my employer that realised.  They questioned me over it and I just said I didn't know.\n\nThey made me pay it back in manageable instalments.  \n\nI'm not sure where you stand legally on this.  I don't think they can take you to court if you offer to pay them back but they have to expect that someone cannot just pay back £8000.  If it did go to court, the court would say it has to be paid in instalments anyway.\n\nI think it may look better on her part if she goes to her manager and explains that she didn't know until she filled in this form.  She should say she is willing to pay back every penny.  If they want to know why she didn't say as soon as she found out then she should say she was scared but decided it was the right thing to do.\n\nShe should be fine.

It depends on the state in which you are employed and whether or not you are a salaried or an hourly employee.  Different states have different regulations.  California, for instance, generally does not allow docking a salaried employee's pay.  You can contact the Labor Commissioner's office for your state and they will tell you whether or not what happened to you is legal in your state.
