As a salaried employees can an employer make you pay back days over your time off do to his vacation schedule

  • Answer:

    I agree, that's not right at all. If I were you, I'd contact a lawyer to see what can be done about this. It has to be illegal.

Does the business close when they are on vacation? Do you work when they are on vacation? If they close the business while they're on vacation, they don't pay you for that time.

no the business does not close. but I am forced to take the time off to split with other employees. they dont want more than one employee there at a time. wich there are 10 of us. so I work 1 day and have to use my vacation/sick time for the rest. but since I only get a certain alotment and they are gone more than half my time I am given I dont see how they can make me pay back all the time they are gone any time I am out sick or on vacation. I like to use my vacation time for my vacation or when the kids are sick or out of school. it is just october and I have exhausted my 17 days due to sick/vacation and thier time off. I am over about 15 days and they still have more vacation to take. so at year end I wont get a paycheck for about 1.5 mths. they tally it up and deduct it from my pay. it does not sound legal since I and all of us are salaried employees

Well you could discuss this with your state's work and labor department, and they may find your boss in violation of something. But these days there are like 6 unemployed for every opening, so if your boss fired you, he knows he'd have no trouble finding a replacement, but YOU would have trouble finding a new job, especially if you tell the truth at your interviews, that you turned your boss in to the federales. So, I know it stinks, but the alternatives are not any better.

If you take more vacation days for pay than they offer, yes, it's reasonable for them to demand you to repay it. It is the equivalent of being paid for days you did not work. I ran into this on taking paid leave with a baby born with health problems. I took more weeks off and they paid me by default. When I returned to work later than planned, I had to pay back the paid time off they gave that I wasn't entitled to.
