Vacation pay

wnsk · #1 Nov 24, 2006, 06:26 AM

I recently resigned from one company to start at a new company. The company I left is saying that I owe them for vacation time I took, but the way I earned vacation time, at .83 days per month. I had not worked enough days to cover the vacation time I took back in July.
The question I have is it legal in Pennsylvania for an employer to now deduct the vacation days I owe them from my last paycheck?

Any help would be great.

Thanks

It is probably legal in any state. They paid you in advance for vacation you have already taken and you will have to pay it back. It was a loan of sorts. Same thing applies if you had earned vacation and you left, they would have to pay you for that time. Sorry
