Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida
Can my employer take my vacation days and personal/sick days away?
2 Answers from Attorneys
Does your employer have a written handbook or policy on it? What does the policy say? Generally the answer would be no, but I would need more details. Feel free to check out related postings on my employee rights blog www.takethisjobnshoveitblog.com.
It really depends on many things. Do you have an employment contract? Why is the employer taking away your vacation or sick days? If it is based on economic factors, it may be permissible, but if it is based on some discriminatory basis, then it would not be. Without more information, it is difficult to give a definitive answer to your question. If you would like to discuss your particular situation in greater detail, I would be happy to chat with you.
