What to do if my employer implemented Paid Time Off after I had been with the company 2 months shy of 1 1/2 years?
The policy was stated in a staff meeting to all employees and required that the employee must work for the company for 9 months and must work twenty or more hours a week to qualify. After the nine months the employee would earn 30 hours of PTO. The business owner stated that since I had been working 20+ hours for much longer than 9 months my PTO had been earned already and that it would take affect immediately. I submitted my two weeks and then decided she didn’t need me to fulfill the time and now refuses to pay out my remaining earned PTO because my two weeks will not be fulfilled. This is one of many issues.

If there was an agreement between you and your employer where you would be entitled to thirty (30) hours of paid time off which you earned and now the employer refuses to pay you for such you have the following options:
1. consult with a labor attorney about your situation;
2. consult with a representative with your nearest department of labor about the matter and file a complaint against the employer for money owed.
