What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California. I was lucky enough to get a raise but the boss said that he was going to pay out all my accrued vacation now at my old rate so he didn't have to pay it on my new rate. Not so upset over the money but over the loss of actual days for vacation. I also know that all benefits are up to the employer but aare there any laws or guidelines here? Thank you
