1) Employer (county home) has a policy on the books that only 80 vacation hours can be carried over from year to year. Employer in over 30 years has never enforced the above and several people have WAY over this.
2) Recently employer had a meeting to tell staff that they were changing companies who manage the profit sharing. (note there has been nothing put into the profit sharing by the employer after the first 3 years and we've had it for 10). During this meeting the staff was also told they would now be able to payroll deduct contributions to their porrtion of the profit sharing, (doesn't sound like a profit sharing to me.)
3) Staff was also informed that beginning in 3 weeks they would begin enforcing the vacation policy but were going to change the amount allowed to carry over. Anyone at that time who was over the allowed amount (which we still don't know) would HAVE to put the overage of hours x their wage into the profit sharing. They would not be allowed to use the overage or have it paid out to them.
Question the staff has is can they do this, force them to invest their earned vacation into this so called profit sharing instead of paying it out to them?
Thanks for your input.
