Re: Vacation pay

It depends when the vacation pay was earned or became "vested". If all or part of it became vested at the higher rate of pay, you are entitled to the higher rate. Any vacation pay that is earned at the lower rate, such as that you are accumulating now, is payable at the lower rate.
