To close the loop: My boss has followed up with me since requesting payout for remaining Vacation Time in 2018 because the organization: Asked me to defer my remaining week of time in 2018 to 2019 due to a major project The company changed the Vacation policy from 2018 (Accrual) to 2019...

Army Judge - What would you try to do in this situation? =)

I have been in touch with the Town Economic Developer (Who has been helping me along with my desired project). He says the Town does not currently own the site and has no interest in purchasing or foreclosing on the site. (Obviously because they view the site as a liability). Here's a novice...

Thank you all, this potential project has many hurdles as the mortgage lien is approx. $275K, the Tax lien is approx. $100K, and the environmental clean up and demo will likely cost $200K. That being said, the potential is to turn the property into 9-10 Condos new Condos. With the debt alone...

Thank you for both replies. My environmental consultant expects the cost to remediate the land and existing structure to exceed the value of the land. If I am able to prove this, would I be able to negotiate recusing the cost to $1? Or is this only possible via auction?

Hello, I am considering the purchase of a property in MA. However, the property is abandoned and the previous owner is decreased with a growing Tax Lien. Is there a way to clear the tax lien, as the lien nearly exceeds the value of the property. Any insight is greatly appreciated.

Hello, I am considering the purchase of a real estate investment property which is an abandoned building. My potential partner (A General Contractor) and I are in the due diligence stage of a particular parcel of land that my have environmental issues. I had already done a Phase 1 study, which...

Many thanks for all the time and thought put into this. Also, our parent company is in VA, is the FTO policy format legal in MA? I caught wind of this new coming change in passing from a friendly colleague. I asked our HR Director about the change when she forwarded me the FTO communication...

There has not been a formal announcement throughout the organization yet. I have one email on this which describes the policy as: We will be extending FTO to all Exempt/Salaried Team Members* effective January 1, 2019. This means you and your team will no longer have to track and manage time...

Thank you all, I can read the writing all the wall that there is not much I can do. Last question I have is that in my Offer Letter it does say that I am allotted 3 weeks. With this policy change, does the policy change “overwrite” this agreement should I depart from the organization? (e.g...

I know that demanding or mandating anything is not the way to go, this is why I wanted to ask these kind of questions on a forum like this one before speaking with my boss. =) This way, despite how frustrated I am, I know whether or not asking for cash has legs or not. My boss did say I can...

Hi, my contract says that action time cannot be rolled over. However, since I have been asked to defer my vacation time due to a specific project. The vacation policy in 2018 is different than 2019. The wrench is that I was offered to defer my time. Since there is no difference in the...

Thank you for reply. I am employed in MA, but the corporate headquarters is in VA (in case this matters)

Hello: I have a couple questions regarding Vacation policy. I had been asked to defer vacation time from 2018 to 2019 due to a major project. In the meantime, the corporate vacation policy has changed from an accrual format in 2018 to “Flex Time” in 2019. Flex Time meaning there is no...
