I'm in New Hampshire. The policy is regarding earned time. The company hand book I was given states that if you, the employee, terminate your employment, you are no longer entitled to your earned time but, it said nothing if they terminate you. I was terminated, for worngful reasons, which is beside the point and a whole other battle, and when I sent a claim in to the labor board for the 43 hours of earned time that I earned, the company came back saying tha they had changed their hand book in October of 2004 having it now state that if you are terminated you no longer are entitled to that time. The hand book I have is from 2001 and I was never informed, nor were 5 other people that still work for the company that I have asked, that there were changes made to the companies policies. I now have to have a hearing in front of the labor board against this employer. I wouldn't make such a big deal out of it but I did earn those hours and I feel that they changed their handbook without notifying their employees, maybe even so they don't have to pay me. My hearing is October 3rd and that is why I was wondering if it's legal for them to make changes without letting employees know. I appreciate your help if you have any!
