Employee Vacation & Personal Time Overview

California Employment Attorneys Fighting for Fair Vacation and Personal Time Policies

The California law firm of Marlin & Saltzman is a pre-eminent employment law firm that focuses on class action employee rights lawsuits against employers that violate employment laws. If you are working for a company that you feel is violating your rights as an employee, you are probably not alone. We can talk with you and see if there might be a class action we could bring against your employer to get the compensation you deserve.

A common violation that we see employers commit in California is limiting vacation and personal time. If you have contracted for a certain amount of vacation time, you are entitled to that time. We can fight to get compensation for the time you have been denied.

California Law Protecting Employees

There are a few common practices that employers use to save their expenses regarding vacation time:

• Use-it-or-lose-it vacation: Many employers will eliminate a certain amount – in many cases, all – vacation time that their employers don't use by the end of a certain period.
• Use-it-or-lose-it personal time: Your personal time is another area that your employer might be eliminating at the end of every year.
• Not compensating employees for the cost of vacation time upon termination: This is a favorite of many companies. If you leave your position with available vacation or personal time, your employer might be tempted to withhold compensation for that time.

Although these practices have been common for many employers over the years and throughout the country, in California, these practices are illegal.

The Importance of Class Actions

Although these policies are illegal for employers, the sad fact is that each individual claim is probably too small to justify the cost of a lawsuit. However, usually companies that commit these types of violations commit them across the board, not just to one person. With enough people involved, we could bring a class action suit, getting you and your co-workers the compensation you deserve for being denied your benefits.
