QUESTION
Payment of unused vacation hours at end of year.
Asked on Dec 07th, 2016 on Labor and Employment - Florida
More details to this question:
I work in retail, I always have about 90 hours of vacation time at the end of the year. We are not allowed to take vacation during black out ( holiday time). I have 3 weeks during the year which I take. Shouldn't those hours be paid to me in a check instead of losing them. The company has never informed me about this option and it never occurred to me. I've worked for this company for 11 1/2 years. Do they owe me retro pay for my vacation hours?

Unused Vacation time is only paid if your company has a written plan that provides this in writing, otherwise the law in florida does not entitle employees to pay for unused vacation pay.
