Legal Question in Employment Law in New York

Unused Vacation Days

At my company I had 3 weeks vacation and 1 week of personal time. I started near the end of March and left in the last week of December, during that time I used 9 personal/vacation (it was never specified which they were). They are refusing to pay any of the vacation days accrued that were not taken - do they have to?

Re: Unused Vacation Days

No. not unless there's a contract which says they have to. The vacation time is generally a benefit. It is not compensation for time worked. The only time a company is obligated to pay its employees is for time actually worked.

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
