What is the name of your state? Texas
I understand that vacation benefits are not governed by fed or state laws and that any such benefit is a direct contract between the employer/employee.
I work for a national retailer who provides a Vacation Benefit to all employees after one year of employment. Eligiable employees can accrue a maximum of 80 hours in Vacation Pay. I reached the maximum 80 hours in January and have requested to take vacation on two seperate occassions (through proper procedures & channels) and have been denied both times by my immediate supervisor. I have now worked 5 months without accruing any vacation hours while during the same period, other employees have benefited from both Paid Vacation (Time Off) and Accrued Vaction Pay.
As the top performing employee in the store (sales/profit revenue), my taking a full week or two weeks of vacation will adveresly affect store sales performance and directly affect my immediate supervisor's earnings. However, my requests were to take only two vacation days off and for medical reasons. As stated earlier, those requests were denied.
Do I have any legal recourse at all?
