Why should anything be mandatory?

So you don't believe people should get paid for the hours worked, if
they get fired, either?

Where did I say that? I didn't.

You don't think getting paid for vacation time earned should be
mandatory. That *WAS* the subject, BTW.


Sure, if earned and part of the employment agreement. If the vacation
is based on time worked on a particular calendar date, you are SOL.
You are supposed to know the terms of employment when you sign on.

You're changing the subject, again.

At many companies, you get a week after a year of employment. If you
can canned at six months, no vacation pay for time worked.

In many, you get so many hours per hour worked. Some of those don't
pay accrued vacation time if you're canned, either. That's what we
were discussing. Your statement was that nothing should be mandatory.
I'm with you about 90% of the way but the above case is *clearly* in
the other 10%.


Sure, but why should the employer be able to steal vacation from
someone who's earned it? That *WAS* the issue.

Employer can only steal if time was on the books. see above example.

Duh!


Try following the discussion.

The discussion has drifted to many areas or employment, few actually
having to do with the subject line.

You don't even bother to keep the discussion relevant to the article
you're replying to.
