What is the name of your state? New York
I was recently let go from my job. Two weeks previous to that the company issued new handbooks with many changes. One change was PTO (paid time off). Now the company is given me the option of signing a document for a severance package, which I understand they don't have to.
My question is, under the old handbook the company had vacation time and sick leave. In November of last year I was switched from a salary pay to an hourly pay. I lost my sick leave but my vacation leave, as I understand, was still in place until the new handbook was issued. When I read the new handbook I had questions, so as of my termination date, I had not signed any kind of acceptance form for the new handbook. Does vacation time have to be paid to you? Where would I fall under the new or old handbook rules?
Does any employer have to completely explain any federal laws to its employee's? As I understand the FMLA act has to be completely explained, not partially.
