Question about paid sick leave and/or vacation time
I just obtained a full time job with a charter school. It's sort of a hybrid full time job because I have 2 classifications. I work as an Instructional Aide from 7AM-1PM and as an After School Coordinator from 2:30PM-6:00PM Monday-Friday. I recently asked the executive director of this charter school if I am entitled to paid sick leave and/or paid vacation time. It's been a week and I haven't received a response but would like to know what to expect. I will be receiving medical insurance through the school but the director was not sure if I am entitled to paid sick leave and/or vacation time because the school is closed during the summer. My question is: Am I entitled to paid sick leave and/or vacation time even though I do not work entirely throughout the year (e.g. summer)?
thanks |

oh yes i forgot to add that i am hourly and not salary. i am paid one rate for my instructional aide position and another for the after school program. the thing is we never made an agreement and thats what her and her attorney are working on now that i asked about this matter. i guess i figured since i am full time while the school remains open i am entitled to this as well. that's why i'm confused a bit.

They would normally still give you some sick time and vacation time, but it can be legal not to do so in many such situations.
In almost every industrialized nation on earth, employers are required by law to give employees paid time off. But in the United States (and China) there is no requirement for employers to give their employees any vacation at all paid or otherwise. There is also no legal definition of what constitutes paid vacation. If your employer provides paid vacation at all, they can set the rate of pay you receive during your time off at any pay rate they choose. You can even be paid below minimum wage when on vacation since minimum wage law only pertains to hours that you actually worked. Fortunately, despite the fact that they are not mandated by law, paid vacations are now a fairly common employment benefit, particularly for full-time employees. We have unions, or actually fear of unions, to thank: the paid vacation concept was introduced in the United States by employers seeking to prevent unionization by their workforce. Call your state dept of labor too to check on any local laws. |

Hello.
I am twenty years old and work at a Call Centre. I have had depression and anxiety for six years and it often gets in the way of work. I am breaking down and desperately need to go on a leave of absence or something. I have been working for over three months with this employer and my doctor will vouche for me that I depression, anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder. What kind of leave am I entitled to? Legally. It does not need to be paid...just job protected. |
