In Germany, vacation days expire as well (past a certain amount), but the employer is forced by law to force you to take your vacation days.
Same in norway. You can also transfer some over to a new year. Or be paied out days. But you can not loose them.
Well they got paid out for them right? Right?
In the US, some employers do pay out vacation, but many don’t, because there’s no law requiring them to do so. It’s perfectly legal to offer literally zero vacation days.
I feel sorry for Americans
Your thoughts and prayers are all we need
What a dumbass
Even if anon didn’t get to bank the days to take them all later I hope their contract gave a payout for the value of the days not taken at the end of the year. If not, they got screwed twice. Take your vacation days.
Know your contract!
My wife had a nice mail about her 18 unused vacation days this year and what she wants to do with them. The employers keep trying to make it as confusing as possible with two types of days and counters and whatnot, but French law protects us from the worst of it.
Worst case scenario : she gets paid 18 days of work.
Ugh, “floating holidays”
