Legal Question in Employment Law in California
On jan. 25 2011 I signed a salary agreement with my employer in which I received a dollar an hour raise and an increase in my vacation time to 3 weeks per calendar year. Today on March 2nd 2015 I changed my status to part time. My boss says tht she does not owe me the three weeks vacation. I worked all of last year at my usual hours. Is this right? Shouldn't I have been granted my three weeks as I am in my new calendar year? Also she made e sign a no overtime agreement several years ago and had to use comp time. I don't think this is legal either.

It all depends on the wording of your salary agreement. The general rule is that vacation will accrue, meaning you would have earned 2/12 of your vacation time. Again, however, your contract controls.
Without reading the OT agreement and knowing what you do for work, it is not possible to answer your question.
You may wish to consult with a plaintiff-side labor lawyer, and have him or her review your documents.
