Is there a legal requirement to grant employees a certain amount of unpaid leave per year?

unpaid leaves are never a legal requirement, rather some paid leaves are definitely and this varies among countries

Bereavement leave is governed by company policy.  I've not done business or work in a state so far that "requires" leave for the death of a family member.  The "standard" most companies go by is 3days paid leave and up to two weeks total (being unpaid or using vacation for the rest).\n\nSome companies just allow 3 days but don't pay it, some allow one day, it's a company decsion.

There is no law that provides for this, HOWEVER, many corporations and companies have made it their own policy to do so.  Sears is one such place.. any of their employees that are called up receive the difference between their Reserve/Guard base pay and their Sears salary for the duration, as well as maintaining their medical bennies.\n\nThe only things that are required by the SSRA is that employers may not fire someone for being called up, they must hold a position of equal authority and pay open for them and they may not be penalized for promotion.

Customarily it's common to give at least a 2-week notice. As far as paid for holidays I only know of paying for vacation days left

$18,720 - assuming you don't take any unpaid leave.\n\nThis would be before taxes and any other deductions.

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.

Generally, Company A would be required to send Company A (and the IRS) a Form 1099, if the total payment in the course of a fiscal year exceeded $1,000.  A written service contract could be helpful to record and enforce parties' obligations, but, as far as I know, is not required.  (Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV.)

I am not a layer but, I am an employer.  I do belive that you would be covered under the Family Medical Leave Act Of 1993.  Go here http://www.dol.gov/esa/regs/statutes/whd/fmla.htm and read the law just to be sure.  I do not think that they have to pay you for the missed time.  I do believe that they have to grant you leave though.

lol LOL LOL I wish paid holidays were a requirement. You earn leave but usually after being at the company for a while. Also it is usually based on the hours you worked the previous year. It all depends on the company you work for.

You can lodge a complaint with the Employment Tribunal to claim the unpaid wages from your ex employer but it must be within 3 months of the date of non payment so you have until late December. The Government launched a Tribunals Service back in April and below is the necessary info.http://www.employmenttribunals.gov.uk/claim_form_et1.asp

Yes, the employer is allowed to withhold federal income tax unless you state on your W-4 that you are exempt from federal income tax.\n\nFor the "up to $80,000" to be tax exempt, you must have been overseas for at least 330 days in a 365 day period.  Just a word of caution, make sure you will meet that requirement so you will avoid a hefty penalty and interest from the IRS if you do not meet it.

In Washington State employers are required to make final payment of all outstanding earnings to the employee by the end of the next pay period, regardless of whether the employee was discharged or resigned.\n\nper the Washington St. Employment Standards

Lots of soldiers do get R&R leave (2 weeks of uncharged leave) in the middle of a year-long deployment.  This, however, is not guaranteed, and I don't think you can request.  I'm pretty sure it has to just be given to you.  SO, it depends on many factors, but yes, it is possible.

It is usually extra to your statutory or contractual rights to leave on the grounds of sickness or annual leave. It is generally given for bereavement or special needs, such as temporarily caring for a family member or close friend. It is always at the discretion of your employer.

only if you have paid employees, not including yourself.

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.

Go to your state gov site (ie NY, MA, CA etc...) and then look into labor laws for national holidays.
