What happen to vacation days after I left the company?

Question

I left previous company 9 months ago. After my last day of work, I continued to receive paychecks and I was under the assumptions that the payment was for my left over holidays accrued. 2 months later, they sent me a letter indicating an overpayment and request that I return the amount. I sent them a registered letter asking for breakdown of the overpayment and the vacation days accrued. No response from them. 2 months later, I sent them another registered letter for an update on the status. No response again. Now, it has gone to collection agency. I called the central payroll dept and they asked me to call my local HR. I did. No answer. Left her a voicemail but no reply. What can I do now? Thanks for your response.

Answer 1

It depends on the State and/or Compnay is you are owed back vacation time...

That being said you sent a 2 registered letters... I belive under the FDCPA you're fine now. They never sent proof you owe the debt.

It might be time to lawyer up

Answer 2

Call the labor board and maybe an attorney that knows Labor law. Did you keep the pay stubs? Do you have old pay stubs that say how many hours of vacation time you had or any proof of Vacation hours? You are going to need that.

Answer 3

call the collection company and demand a complete explaination in writing exactley what the amount owed is for and tell them you have tried resolving it with company
you have copies of the registered mail reciepts that shows you have contacted them if they wont drop collections get a lawyer and sue them and former employer for harrassment


and kapow your 100% wrong if you earned them they have to pay you for them they dont have to pay for sick days

Answer 4

Get off your *** and start working- you sponge. Your company does not have to pay you for accrued unused vacation hours. They didn't have to give you vacation hours in the first place.
