What is the name of your state? Florida
Okay, I was recently had a situation where my supervisor was thinking I Had performance issues....so I was given a choice.
TO resign, or to stay until I was terminated.
I chose to stay.
When I made this decsion, I was pressured into taking the "resignation" option by the HR Director and by the Manager. I still said I am sticking with my decision.
Then they made me aware that if I chose to resign, I would not be forfeiting my vacation pay....so I agreed to resign, so that I would not lose my vacation/sick leave, they made me aware that it was a good amount of money.
So after the resignation, I went home.....a couple days later, I call the HR office up to confirm when I will be receiving my vacation and sick pay.
They told me that I would not be getting it, because they said I did not leave in "Good Standing", basically good standing meant turning in your resignation and giving 2 weeks notice!
Apparently, they had made an error (or perhaps lied) to get me to resign, and then get out of paying me what is owed to me. By saying, "Oh, by the way, you were suppose to give us 2 weeks notice!"
So, I told them, "Well, my supervisor and Director of HR asked me to resign, and if I did resign, I WOULD be getting both my vacation and sick"
And they responded, "Well, I'm sorry, but policy states ...etc etc etc."
Now...I have no money, no income, nothing coming in.
Now I AM well aware of the FLorida laws stating that since it is considered a "Benefit" they don't have to give it to me, BUT...in this particular case, since they pulled this crap on me...
Do I have a case?
