I got what was due to me.

[Tyme2fish]

When I left my company on 1/26/2008 I was due 2 "special" holidays and vacation pay. They paid me my vacation but said "special" holidays could not be paid as I was no longer an active employee.

Nobody told me squat in the 30 days I worked after giving notice that I had to take the special holidays or lose them.

I then contacted the regional vice president's secretary on the unethical and unprofessional manner in which I was treated.This was after the local bosses just shrugged me off and said too bad.

It took a while, but my bulldog persistance finally paid off with the company paying to me the monies I was due.I just hope someone got a good arse chewing.

I never got mad. (well, yes I did) and I finally got even!!!!

You seem still mad, T2F.

In my opinion, if you were notified in writing that you had to use or lose the special holidays and you didn't use them you put yourself out of luck.

Just one guy's opinion, mind you, but I think you got paid to shut up.

That's the thing. It was NOT in writing. As a courtesy the bosses could have said, Tyme, you need to take these 2 days off before your quit date or you won't be paid for them. I didn't pull any sneaky stuff on the company like taking sick days,etc. or playing games with them for my last 30 days. I continued to give my full effort. Why did they have to play sneaky with me?


I just always thought it was an unprofessional manner to treat an employee with 21.5 years of service.


Thankyou Company, now your money that was due me is in my pocket and yes, I WAS paid to SHUT UP AND GO AWAY.

Good for you Tyme! I would have done the same thing under those circumstances, you carried out your part of the bargain respectfully, there was no reason for them to jap you out of your holidays.

You did the right thing, and it forced them to also. Good job.

I would've done the same, and would've taken it up with the local labor board if I hadn't received a response in a satisfactory time-frame.

Well, I misunderstood your original post, T2F. I take back what I said.
