Our company was bought out and the old employee was to pay us our PTO on our last check. We had signed an employss handbook that only 40 hrs could roll over per year.the problem was they did not have enough staff to cover for us to take vacation so they did not hold to this and rolled our hrs over into 2009 and we were told we would not loss it. I have 242 hrs of PTO and it was on my last pay stub listed as available hrs. Now my former employee states they will only pay the 40 hrs. Is this legals since it has been on every pay stub this year as available hrs.
It does not sound legal at all. Is there anything in writing that states that this time would rollover or was this a verbal statement that was made?
