Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Accrued Vacation Compensation

I was termininated. The firm by contract owes me accrued (vested) vacation time. When calculating it, do I calculate by gross income (including commissions)or by base rate of pay? I am owed by my calculations about $7,000. Am I better off with the labor board or suing for $5,000 in small claims? Thank you.

Re: Accrued Vacation Compensation

-If you are hourly, then the vacation pay will likely be based on your hourly rate.

-You will probably have more remedies, i.e. penalties and interest, if you go to the Labor Commissioner. Please call me at 805/641-6600 if you wish to discuss your options further.
