wtf?

So.. back when I entered in June, I already had a vacation planned, they let me go, originally I was gonna go unpaid, and I was ok with that, when I came back from Mexico, HR headquarters informed me there was a new policy, about new employees having 1 week since the start because I was hired before the middle of the year..

Well, know they changed the policies, and defined the middle of the year starting June the 1st. So I got a message from HR, that I shouldn't have been paid, and now I have to 'pay back' the vacation time, 8 hours per paycheck... I just think that's fukced up, it wasn't my freakin fault they decided to pay me.. I think I need to raise some hell with the HR dept..

do you have any of this via email from hr? it sounds to me like they don't know what day of the week it is given their conflicting information.

if they paid you while that was the current policy and now they changed policies, they can't take it back. sue them.

yea the mail that I had to pay back the vacations is from today. the call from my hr manager 4 months ago, I don't think I can get it, we have a digital tape in our phones hooked to our pc's.. but I don't think I can retrieve it.

so all telephonic discussions. any chance you made a memo about the calls?

Seems like HR's changing the rules in the middle of the game. Tell them you can put $5.00 on it for now

no but I remember hr saying it was just 'a new policy' and my friends and boss also heard about it, so everybody knows they gave it to me, and now they wanna take it back and make me pay for it.. #######

well the paying back thing, I got an email.. not a phone convo

first thing i think you need to do is make a memo about the phone call to you, stating facts and witnesses as accurately as you can. your boss also needs to be involved in this.

well however this turns out & whatever happens, remember KEEP YOUR COOL! when talking to them.

they are your employer & if you blow up, they will remember it later.

if they agree w/ you & blow it off...great.....if not, don't freak or talk about it w/ your co-workers (there's always someone waiting to back-stab & narc on somebody else)

good luck!

ok i talked to the hr manager, he told me that that's not a definitive thing, they're still working things out, to something more favorable for me..

probly I'll still have to pay something back I guess, but at least they know I won't freaking take that bs

what they are doing is the math to figure out how much it will cost for them to pay for an attorney when they get sued

For one week's pay? Not even a small claims suit.
