What is the name of your state?New Jersey
I am currently an employee in a dental office and have been there for 14 years. I am a dentist. When I started there, the original employer had a no vacation pay policy for the dentists in the office. The office was sold 7 years ago to a corporation and at that time we were given 1 week vacation time, 3 sick days and one personal day. The office has changed corporations several times (2) but the owner who bought the office 7 years ago was still running the office. Up until last year, I had accrued 3 weeks paid vacation. At this time, we are no longer owned by a corporation but now by the individual who originally purchased office 7 years ago. At the begining of this year it was decided that the dentists had to earn their vacation time by meeting an individual goal. If no met, no paid vacation (we still also would not be getting sick days or personal day). Is this legal. I am not an independant contractor but an employee.
