I am trying to get clarification on my companies policy, but I find it a bit ambiguous. This is the exact verbage from our employee handbook.
"To be eligible for the vacation allowance, employees must be actively at work on their anniversary date. Any unused vacation for hourly employees will be paid at the end of the year in which it was to have been taken. Salaried and Office Hourly employees will not be paid for any unused vacation time.
(Employees who terminate their employment before their next anniversary date will be paid for any unused vacation time but will not be eligible for any of the vacation allowance associated with their next anniversary date.)"
I am salaried and I am a bit confused by the last two lines. It seems like they are saying that I wouldn't get vacation paid if I wanted to roll it over into the next year, but would if I were to terminate.
When they are referring to pay at the end of the year, they are clear to differentiate between hourly and salary, but they only say employees when referring to vacation pay on termination.
Is this policy exempting them from paying out unused vacation on termination to salaried employees?
