Topic Name: Headache Resignation
Message Name: What is the CA law on this?
Date Posted: 07/13/2001
Message: I have an employee who has resigned with 2 weeks notice. Our company policy is to pay out any unused vacation time upon termination of employment. The employee is asking for his personal days (we give 5 a year) and sick days (we give 7 each year) to be paid out as well. The problem we face is that in the past we have a seperate division (different name and company but still owned by the same company that owns my division)that calculates dyas off (personal, sick, vacation) differently, and we have paid out all of these days in the past. This pay out instance has happened in on of our california offices. Can my employee who is resigning hang me out to dry with the labor board on this issue? I have no doubt that this person will "sprint" there as soon as he leaves. Any advice from an HR expert out there?
