My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Florida
Good afternoon Everyone.
I am planning to resign my job for two reasons-
My hours at my current firm, will be cut and second because I got offered a wonderful new position at a new firm, which couldn’t have been a more perfect time.
I have about 130 hours accrued for leave at my current job.
After December 14th I can only carry over 80 hours to the next year to use, so I will be taking off two weeks starting this week coming.
Thank God because Monday I got told that my hours will have to be cut. From 40 to 20!
I quickly started looking for a new job and Monday night I got called for an interview, Tuesday I met with a partner of a new firm and they offered me a position to start whenever I could.
I already have asked for two weeks off. Which is 80 hours but that would leave me with a remainder of 50 hours. If I quit this job I have and give them two week notice will I get my extra 50 hours of accrued time leave paid?
Ex, I go to my 2 week vacation come back and tell them that I am quitting, will they pay me the extra hours I have left?
Or…. Should I just take all my 130 vacation which is around 3 weeks and then come back and tell them I’m quitting?
I want to know before this Friday so I can just ask for my boss to give me a longer vacation just in case I do not get that paid after quitting?
Please advise?
I kindly appreciate it.
