I have spent far more time on HR issues lately than I expected. For example, we give employees three floating holidays a year, which they get on day one and which do not roll to the next year. A employee who left asked to be paid for his unused holidays, which struck me as audacious, but outside counsel seems to think he's right. This seems wrong to me, since the holidays do not accrue as one works, like vacation days do.

Asking to be paid for earned* but not used holidays is “audacious”? Jesus, Ty, you really are a sellout to The Man. Perhaps this should be your new avatar:



*Yes, they were “earned” - on day one, maybe. Would you demand repayment if your former employee had taken them and left before the end of the year? You probably would, you greedy** bastard.

** Isn’t it Alana-ic, don’t you think?
