PTO/Vacation Equity Among Employees

[cezzium]

MN - Can someone please advise me about where to look for information about benefit equity for employees.

I am interested to know if an employer, with defined employee classes offer one employee in a certain class additional benefits. The benefit is additional vacation time (roughly 3 weeks). This is not sick time or time to care for a child or sick relative, but vacation time.


thanks for any help.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

Yes, an employer can do that.

I should be clear this is after they were hired. Not before. No difference?

Your original question wasn't clear in the first place.

It is legal for an employer to offer different levels of vacation benefits to different employees. That should cover your question.

There are no laws whatsoever governing the granting of vacation time or paid time off. Ergo, there are no laws the granting of vacation time or paid time off after hire.

It is perfectly legal to offer one employee more vacation than another and it happens frequently. If I'm hiring someone that has been in the workforce for 30 years (for example), I'm very likely to offer him or her more vacation than someone who's only been in the workforce for 5 or 10 years.

I, as an employee, have negotiated extra benefits during my hiring phase. You could have done the same.

All the above with the caveat the OP is not covered by a collective bargaining agreement.
