I'm not sure I understand your question. However employers generally must adhere to the Fair Labor Standards Act. As well as have a posted FLSA bill on the premises. The FLSA concerns overtime, sicktime, etc. You can probably get your questions answered at www.dol.gov/esa/whd/flsa/

e-mail (for written notification), but call first... most employers are sympathetic, but if they aren't you may need to contact HR - most companies will give you 3 days off with pay and if you need more, you can take leave.

Federal law has no requirements on non-wage pay, such as vacation and sick time. The company voluntarily offers it and can take it away. However, if the contract specifically states that he can get paid for left over vacation after resignation, then he must get paid. Your state may have stricter laws about such things, but most have no laws about sick or vacation time.

I can't tell if you are in the UK, scotland, NZ, Australia or Canada because of your use of British English.  But the answer would probably be the same.  You, or your boyfriend can call the nearest government office and ask the same question.  \n\nAlso,  how have other staff member's holidays been handled?  Are they required to do the same? Surely the law in your country would require that the policy for one would be the same for others.  Does he have the time coming to him; has he accrued enough vacation time?  Sometimes sthe policy requires you to work a certain number of months before you can go on a vacation.  Also, if it is the busy time of the year for the place he works, the establishment may have a policy that says something like that.  THere should be a written policy, and your bf should ask to see it.  THen, he should check with the department of labor or his union.  But, he may not want to make a fuss at his job unless he is really good and they would be wont to lose him.  Employers tend to remember when an employee turns them in.

Every state's laws are different; and, every company's policies are different. In most cases if you are terminated you are entitled to receive the number of hours of accrued vacation. This must be paid with your final paycheck.

Ethically, you shouldn't deny vacation days, unless it will leave the company short staffed. I do not know of any company that lets that many people take vacation days at once. However, from a professional standpoint: no matter what we think, they have worked to earn time off, and you should approve whoever you can. Just act like it doesn't bother you. Maybe leave some resumes on your desk as they turn the vacation requests in, but do it subtly. It may make them think twice about how strong the American workforce is.( someone is always willing to take their place, and do so without all the BS). It is hard to control what and why people do the things they do, but you should take the stance of damage control.

Yes it is legal, as long as the employer is willing to compensate the employee for the work rendered.  However, it should also be noted that a person's productivity level goes down if fully exhausted, i mean, he can work 7 days straight, but did he really work (in the true sense of the word)?  There should be a good monitoring tool to measure the quality of his output.

Im sorry but yes he can, you work for him not the other way around, Its called cutbacks. If you were such an important employee of his hed be asking you to work more One way to find out is ask him why and then tell him you will work there until you find work elsewhere and if hes ok with that find a new job and dont give him a two week notice. The only way he cant do this is if he is giving your hours to someone newly hired. But if someone who has been there longer than you asks for these hours he can its called seniority.

If you've had a good relationship with your bosses, I'd say give them as much notice as you can.  They will appreciate it and so will the others in the office who will end up doing your job if  someone new isn't in place by the time you leave.  You're leaving anyway, so why not give them a break?

I work in HR. You can take a few days off as long as your have the time. You did not need to tell your boss how you spend your time off.  Do you need to take FMLA? If so the doctor needs to fill out the form and your boss needs to approve it.  Do you have any HR coworkers that you can talk to? If you need more advice email me.

Not trouble per se just consequences. Do you have sick leave? Are you frequently late or fail to show up at all? Did you call in to tell them that you were sick prior to work shift?Ask to see the Human Resources/company  guidelines in writing governing sick absences. Be professional!!! No yelling or screaming.Stick with the facts only. Request a review from the higher ups and/ or the Labor Board. Peace.

There are no laws that require employers to provide days off. It is the business owners choice to provide or not to provide holidays and vacations.

Whoever told you that you do not accrue vacation pay at the end of the fiscal year was lying to you.  This is supposed to be done, as well as an accrual for sick time.  This usually appears as compensated absences on the financial statement.  Some companies include the accrued amount for the above on the accrued wages payable line of the balance sheet.\n\nAlso the amount you accrue depends upon their personnel policy regarding vacation and sick pay.

No, an employer can not force you to do anything.  He can, however, schedule you to work a holiday at the rate of pay you agreed upon when you took the job.  If you choose not to come in or find someone to cover your shift if that is allowable, then he has the right to terminate your employment for failing to come to work.  I am assuming that this is a non union job and that you do not have a contract that outlines what holidays you do and do not work and if there is any bonus for working them.

Fathers are allowed to take paternity leave so I don't think you can get fired. But, I am not sure about that. You can check with your state's labor dept. to confirm this. Your boss might not like the fact that you will need 4 days off for paternity leave especially since you are a relatively new employee. You will probably not get paid since you most likely haven't accrued sick or vacation time. You should give your boss as much advance notice as you can so he can plan accordingly. If you work for a company that has a Human Resources Dept. you might want to check with them to see how many days you can take (it may be more than 4) and whether you have any sick time that would pay you while your out. You can also go to www.laborlawtalk.com and see if you can get an answer to your paternity leave questions.

There isnt a state that I know of that allows eight hour days without breaks.  Believe it or not, it is clearly within your complete rights to ask your employer if you are getting your legal amount of breaks.\n\nEven if its a job that it would be difficult for them to run without you, if you are still entitled by law, so be it.

Take your vacation and then leave.\n\nYour employer sucks.
