I recently quit my job and my previous employer is withholding my Paid Time Off (PTO) bank. What kind of action can I take?My contract states I am entitled to the monies. The contract also does not include the Employee handbook that my previous employer is claiming I violated. He claims I violated the handbook because client changes came in AFTER I left which, to him, indicated that work was not completed before I left. I debated looking for a lawyer cause the PTO amount probably wouldn't even cover legal fees, but my previous employer is also seeking 2-weeks pay in compensation for what he thinks is sabotage. The twist I have is here... two previous employees who left, one on really bad terms and one who clearly violated the contract, both got their PTO payout and no other penalties. What can I do to resolve this issue? What kind of case do I have to take this company to court? Attorney answers (1) |
