@Mike Roberts: Generally, if you are salaried your employer can do this in FULL DAY increments only. Arguably, still if you work on the weekend to make up for it you could be entitled to a full week of salary. If you do any work at all during a day you must be paid for that day’s salary in California, not vacation/sick time.

I do field work for my company and am on the road over 240 days per year, when I return home and need to see the doctor or attend any various appointment, my employer selects a “sick” day or “vacation” day and assigns it as used. Is this fair for them to utilize without my permission?

@Cristof: It certainly sounds like you indeed have a claim for vacation pay, but you should call our offices or another employee-rights attorney for more information.

Hello,
I was trying to find information regarding employee rights regarding vacation pay. I have worked for my employer for 7 years and never taken a vacation. I decided it was time to switch jobs and asked for my vacation pay. They said they would give it to me. They decided to give me half a weeks pay for those seven years. Every other employee was getting two weeks a year. Who do i need to talk to.
