What is the name of your state? Washington, D.C.
I recently resigned from my company. I agreed to stay on for a couple of months to transition my role and in exchange I received a severance package which included a payout of earned but unused vacation time in accordance with the companies vacation policy. Since that time I have learned that the company has subsequently changed their vacation policy, increasing the # of days earned for each pay period. Thi schnage was made on a go forward basis from the date of the change but also retroactively to th eperiod in which I was an active employee. I have approached the company, and asked for them to make a supplementary payment to me that reflects the increase in vacation eligibility for the period that I was employed under the newly instituted retroactive ploicy. I have been told that eligibility is limited to those emplyees who were actively employed at the time of the change in policy and despite the fact that I was employed during the period for which these beneifts were changed..I am not eligible to receive those benefits given that I am no longer actively employed by the company. Is this legal? If not..is there a federal guideline or statute that I can reference?
