What is the name of your state? Va.
I just found out through a company memo they are changing the vacation / sick leave benefits. They are now combining the two which works out to be less then both were seperately. The main issue I have is that I had 200hrs in sick leave, and 200hrs vacation time. I could accrue up to 240 vacation, and 200 in sick leave. Now they took away my sick time , and have a new accrual schedule that combine both together. The accrual rate is a little higher, but it caps at 200hrs. So I just lost 6 weeks worth of benefits in the click of a mouse. Is their any recourse. I would never have planned my vacation, or go on another one period (at this company) if I knew I am actually using my sick leave now. I know you will say cancel the vacation if it concerns me that much, but it is the superbowl, and other things, and is payed for.
