Hello all,
I am a salaried employee and I work for a private company. I resigned my company a week ago. A few days ago my employer came back and told me I was overdue in the vacation time I took, and that they will have to take those hours from my paycheck. I worked several extra hours for this company and the employer has billed its customers based on my overdue work time I work for them. My question is, is my employer entitled to take that money of my overdue vacation time from my paycheck? Thank you

If you havn't earned it but went ahead and took it then yes they can (and should) doc you for the time. The opposite is true, I was laid off and was owed vacation time so they had to pay me for it.

I'm not sure what you mean by "overdue time", but there is such a thing as vacation accrual. Some companies give you vacation based on your rate of accrual (every month you work you get another day or 1.15 days or whatever of vacation time), but will let you take all of your vacation days at any time in a calendar year regardless of your accrual status. But if you leave the company before all of your vacation is accrued, they are entitled to take the "extra" vacation time out of your final paycheck, if they state that this is their policy up front.

What do you mean by overdue vacation time? You mean they paid you for more vacation time than you had accrued? If they paid you for more time than you were entitled to then yes, they can ask for compensation. If you had worked overtime and meant to use this as comp time a request for such should have been put in at the time. At this point, if you haven't proof of comp time owed then you haven't got a leg to stand on and if you accepted paid time off rather than comp time then you still owe them the money back anyway.
If you mean that you left the company with vacation time that you never took then no, they cannot ask you to pay for it-that doesn't even make sense! THEY have to pay YOU for any unused vacation time. If they don't, then you can sue them for it.

oh yes, if you took too much vacation time that did not equal the time you worked that year they can take it out of your check...i would talk to HR or something though and see if they could pull some strings...

Wheterh strained or not, it is legally perfect. The account should be squared otherwise Accounts willmake a hue and cry and Auditors will screw the HR guy.

Yes they can, remember the Vacation time is a priviledge, and if you take more that what you have acrued, you owe the employer...

Yes they can, I suggest you remind him about the overtime hrs and suggest a trade-off. Unless you have proof, (photocopies), of your timesheets, you'll have a hard time proving it.

you must be paid for any accured vacation time.
