I have worked for a company for 3 years. In the beginning I took an assistant manager position with the company. They really needed me to, and I1 thought it would be a good change. There was a verbal agreement between my manager, his boss and me that I would immediately begin receiving the company's benefits package and begin accruing vacation hours. This occurred, and I have proof on my previous pay stubs.
About 1.5 years into my employment, the company had a change in payroll staff. The new clerk saw that I had been receiving vacation accrual 10 months prior to my certification. She took it to the VP of the company and they decided that since policy is to not offer benefits or vacation until certification, they would delete out 10 months of vacation. Vacation hours were also deleted from checks at around this time.
Recently, the vacation hours were shown on my check. I notice that I was missing a considerable amount since the vacation accrual rate goes up with each year of accrual. I have taken 3 weeks vacation during my employment. As of January 1, 2004, I should have had 3 weeks left. As I stand right now, I have less than a week.
The company never approached me on the issue. I am now a manager, and my previous manager's boss is now my boss. I have taken the issue to him and his boss. They are basically telling me I have no recourse. Any advice?
Cliff's Notes: Company gave me vacation hours against policy.
Company took away hours without approaching me.
Is there anything I can do?
