What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ohio
My wife’s employer enacted a policy that will place a cap on earned paid time off to 80 hours. The previous cap was much higher.
She had a bucket of around 210 hours already (it’s a lot, yeah), but they wiped every employee with over 80 hours down to 80 hours. She confirmed with me that they will not be compensating her for the hours she, and her co-workers, have lost.
They did this just this morning. Employees were given zero opportunity to “use it or lose it”; it was just simply cut.
Shady business ethics aside, is this legally wrong?
Other details:
Business Headquarters might be in Pennsylvania, if that matters.
Obviously she wants out, but that's another matter.
I appreciate any thoughts on the matter. I'm sure there's already a disclaimer, but I understand that nothing said will be taken as legal advice. I'm just looking for some direction.
Thanks everybody
Edit: She's a federal contractor, not sure how much that changes things.
