My company recently changed its policy regarding two weeks notice of resignation. Now they say that If I don't give four weeks notice they do not have to pay me by acruued vacation time. Is this legal?

Yes, it is legal.

Michigan state law requires only that a company adhere to their policy. If your employer has a written policy to the effect that payout of unused vacation time is contingent upon four weeks notice, they can do that.

I am in MICHIGAN. Our handbook says "All employees who resign are requested to give at least two (2) weeks written advance notice no matter how long they have been employed."

The operative word being "requested". If I choose not to (because they royally pissed me off yesterday) and resign next Wed with intent to stay the next day to clean up my desk, I assume they can not take 2 weeks of my vacation time like they have mentioned to the company they can?

Requested does NOT mean required to me.

Thoughts?

What does their policy say about the pay out of vacation time? That's the part of the policy that counts.

They can't absolutely require you to give four weeks notice because you are an at will employee. That means you can walk away from your job any time you like. However they certainly can withhold paying our your vacation if you choose not to comply with their request if that is their policy.

Our handbook states.....

"If any employee terminates from the Company, any earned accrued vacation as of the termination date will be paid to them. "

Renthorin, what does what your handbook says have to do with SteveB1's question? He is the original poster.

You need to start your own thread if you have questions of your own, even if on the same or similar topic.
