What is the name of your state? New York
i am employed as a nurse in an agency, and this agency supplies nurses to diffrent nursing home and hospitals. i started working for them in march 2006. since that time, i have never gotten my paid sick or vacation leave. i have asked them for it but was always told its not in my contract. this is the part of my contract which states about our benefits: "the employer agrees to provide the employee with such benefits as are ordinarily accorded to its full time employees, including individual medical and dental insurance of the total monthly insurance premium shared equally between the employer and the employee, unemployment insurance, disability and worker's compensation benefit. additional retirement plan (401K) benefit is optional"
the 'full time employees' the contract is talking about are the personnel running the office/agency and they do have paid sick and vacation leave. do i have the right to claim the paid sick and vacation leave according to the contract and under the state law? if so, could i still claim the paid sick and vacation leave that i should have in the past two years? what can you suggest i should do in this case? they are adamant in not giving this benefit.
also, i somehow signed two contracts with the same agency. there are major differences between the two contracts (like the existence of the paid sick and vacation leave clause which can be noted in the first contract, no longer in the second one). the second contract did not nullify the first contract. my question is, in the event of two existing contracts, which contract is in effect?
thank you very much in looking into my case. more power.
