Legal Question in Employment Law in New York

Pto

I am entitled to 16 paid time off days at my job. Recently they reviewed my time off and stated that I have used all my time off. According to my records, I used only 10 PTO days. Originally 4 days from my time was docked from my pay because my probationary period was still in effect, which I understood. I paid them back and was told that those four days would be placed back in my time because I paid them back. Meaning that they would not take my time off of the days that I am entitled to. So after I paid them back, I was under the impression that I still had those 4 days in my PTO. My question is, by law, are you allowed to dock an employee a days pay and also take a PTO day from them? To ease the employees minds they stated that they will pay us back at the end of the year for the docked time. Does that make sense?

Re: Pto

This is really a matter of internal company policy and not of law. The only requirement of law, (outside a separate contract of employment) is that you get paid your wages for the time you actually work.

Should you like to discuss this or any other legal matter, you can call my office to schedule an appointment for a consultation or in the alternative, I can be reached for on-phone low-cost legal consultation at 1-800-275-5336 x0233699.
