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.

In most cases, the company pays on the day closest to the the payday.  If payday falls on Saturday, the employee is paid on Friday.  If it falls on Sunday, the employee is paid on Monday.  Some companies, however, pay everyone on Friday as a matter of good will.

Each company is different.  Refer to your company's employee manua or handbook.  Some companies will pay you for your vacation time, others will not.

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.

In UK, I really don't think so. I have to hedge my bets, because it's hard to know for certain that something hasn't happened, but I'm pretty certain there's no applicable law.\n\nHowever, if someone was using length of service in a discriminatory way, and you could prove this, you would have a case. For instance, giving holidays based on length of service could be considered disciminatory to women (because they may have had a career break to have children). But I don't think there's any case law on this. In other words, no-one's won a case.\n\nThe only recent "employment" law is about age, but that can't apply in this case. Ultimately holiday conditions are between your employer and you.

The taxation of perquisites -- or fringe benefits -- provided by an employer to his employees, in addition to the cash salary or wages paid, is fringe benefit tax.\n\nAny benefits -- or perks -- that employees (current or past) get as a result of their employment are to be taxed, but in this case in the hands of the employer.\n\nThis includes employee compensation other than the wages, tips, health insurance, life insurance and pension plans.\n\nFringe benefits as outlined in section 115WB of the Finance Bill, mean any privilege, service, facility or amenity directly or indirectly provided by an employer to his employees (including former employees) by reason of their employment.\n\nThey also include reimbursements, made by the employer either directly or indirectly to the employees for any purpose, contributions by the employer to an approved superannuation fund as well as any free or concessional tickets provided by the employer for private journeys undertaken by the employees or their family members.\n\nSee the source for the link..\nor visit: http://www.rediff.com/money/2005/mar/22spec.htm

he has to give reasonable notice usually a month and a reason for doing so.\n\nif sick pay was agreed in his contract and he wasn't given notice it could constitute a breech of contract.\n\nhe needs to seek legal advice because he maybe able to argue his case. The bare minimum for holiday allowance in the UK is 15 days plus bank holidays, the employer can't go below this.

You can insist, but your Company does not have to oblige. \n\nYour Company would have to consider if:\n* You come under the definition of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995.\n* You are the parent or carer for a child aged 5 or less.\n* You are the parent or carer of a registered disabled child aged 18 or less.\n\nThe law is changing to add carers to this. But even in points 2 and three, the Company has a duty to consider but not to agree, and allowing someone else to changes their hours of work does not set a precedent, sorry!

It sounds as if you are not a member of a union, therefore you do not have a contract with this employer. By law this employer is not compelled to pay you extra to work on holidays, unless that is something that is done for other employees. Keep in mind that part-timers frequently do not have tha same perks as full-timers.

If you are an hourly employee, yes they are required to pay you.  If they aren't, go up the chain of command and document it very well.  If you still don't have any results, then contact the Department of Labor.  This is considered "working off the clock" and is highly illegal.

Your tax calculation is basically correct.\n\nYou say you pay NI separately.  This is probably only Class 2 NI which is currently £2.10 per week.  You will also be liable for Class 4 contributions which are collected with your income tax.  These are payable at a rate of 8% of your income over £5,035.

If you are British (or live in Britain), and you work then you have to pay National Insurance.  \n\nIf you are unemployed then you get NI contributions paid for you.

State Employees get paid the day before a holiday.  If they normally get paid on a Friday and it is a holiday, they get paid that Thursday.  They always get paid BEFORE the due payday, never after.\n\n(Teachers are State Employees, I am also a State Employee)

This depends on when you are talking about.  If after retirement, you can set it up to be paid out in monthly installments, or in a lump sum, or some other arrangement.\n\nIf you are still working...it depends on your particular companies plan , and realize there will be tax penalties in addition to it counting as income.

It depends on your employeers policy.  There's NO law requiring comp time, and if you mean comp time as in not being paid OT then that's illegal in most cases.
