Legal Question in Employment Law in Virginia
vacation
I am a salaried employee the company has decided that after this year they will not pay out for unused vacation. The current policy id that they will pay out 2 times a year any time off in excess of 2.5X the yearly rate. Starting in January once I exceed 2.5X they will stop giving me vacation hours until I take vacation there will be no payouts---is this legal?

Re: vacation
Certainly, it's legal unless you're working under an employment contract or collective bargaining type of agreement which says otherwise. (Virginia employers generally are under no obligation to offer any kind of either paid sick or vacation leave to their employees.)
