Federal labor laws do not require employers to reimburse ex-employees for vacation time they earn before quitting or being fired.  However, some states have such requirements.  Also, your employment contract may address this issue as well. I would do two things:\n1. Contact your state's employment division and find out if your state requires your employer to pay accrued vacation at the time of separation.\n2. Review your employment contract and company policies regarding this issue.  First, make sure they are following your state's laws, and second, make sure they follow their own policies/agreements.

If you run your own business then the rules are different. If you are employed, your company would usually pay you a car allowance and a small amount per mile.\nLook for answers here:www.hmrc.gov.uk Use the queries phone line for advice.

Depending on when they started, you would pay out their vacation pay at the end of the year to bring them to the Jan. 1st date. So, if someone was hired in September, pay them what is owing from Sept. to Dec. Then they are on the calendar with the rest of the employees. I just converted to this system myself and had to pay out the vacation owed.

You'll have to read the fine print in your contract. Your employer may reserve the right to reduce your working hours in certain circumstances. It also depends on the laws where you live.\n\nIf in doubt, go see a lawyer - preferably one familiar with labor law. An initial consultation shouldn't cost you more than $100 - or may even be free - and if your case is valid, they'll work on contingency (which means you don't pay unless you win your suit).

Whoever told you that you do not accrue vacation pay at the end of the fiscal year was lying to you.  This is supposed to be done, as well as an accrual for sick time.  This usually appears as compensated absences on the financial statement.  Some companies include the accrued amount for the above on the accrued wages payable line of the balance sheet.\n\nAlso the amount you accrue depends upon their personnel policy regarding vacation and sick pay.

no, unless the hours worked go over 40 hours.\nmost good companies though will pay double time for hours worked on a holiday. wage laws are for the most part set up by the federal government.

lol LOL LOL I wish paid holidays were a requirement. You earn leave but usually after being at the company for a while. Also it is usually based on the hours you worked the previous year. It all depends on the company you work for.

it depends.  travel  allowance (meaning not based on mileage) is like bonus, needs to be suject to payroll taxes withholding.  mileage reimbursement (meaning reimbursed by miles) is like reimbursement, not subject to tax and log sheet must be kept every month

You could ask your employer.  It doesn't make any difference: in town, out of town, wherever, they must be postmarked by Jan. 31.

The EU 38 hour working week directive covers commuting. This of course doesn't cover commuting from your home to regular base of work, but home to client sites.\n\nDiscuss with HR their status on this particular peice of legislature. Some companies pressure you to opt out, but if you feel excessive commuiting is dangerous and unsafe stand your ground and refuse.\n\nWhen my husband is working at client sites for several days in a row, more than two hours from home he tells his company to put him in a hotel or he won't do it. The company charges it to the client. The client has a choice, to accept the additional cost of using my husband, or taking on someone else from the company. 99% of the time they pay for a hotel.

most companies will  pro-rate any paid vacation owed from the time of the year it became vested, minus any used time, and what part of the year your employment was terminated.\ni recently left such a job in april, and only received one weeks pay(i would have been entitled to take a total of 3 weeks this year) because i left after the 1st quarter of the yearly pay period\nask your human resource manager for their answer

Federal law has no requirements on non-wage pay, such as vacation and sick time. The company voluntarily offers it and can take it away. However, if the contract specifically states that he can get paid for left over vacation after resignation, then he must get paid. Your state may have stricter laws about such things, but most have no laws about sick or vacation time.

It's kind of hard to tell what you're talking about.  Assuming that you're American and that you're talking about travel expenses, then it depends on whether this is a temporary or permanent job.  If this is a temporary job, then you could deduct mileage, meals, lodging, etc.  But if it's a permanent job, you can't deduct anything.\n\nAs the IRS says:\n"Travel expenses paid or incurred in connection with a temporary work assignment away from home are deductible. However, travel expenses paid in connection with an indefinite work assignment are not deductible. Any work assignment in excess of one year is considered indefinite. Also, you may not deduct travel expenses at a work location if it is realistically expected that you will work there for more than one year, whether or not you actually work there that long. If you realistically expect to work at a temporary location for less than one year, and the expectation changes so that at some point you realistically expect to work there for more than one year, travel expenses become nondeductible when your expectation changes."\n\nHope that helps.

Your query is very vogue. If you are receiving hiring charges for the transport of goods on road .ie to say freight charges. then you have to pay Service tax under the category "Goods Transport Agency" depending upon conditions specified notifications say notification no 32/2004,33/2004,34/2004 & 35/2004. You can also avail exemption as per notification 6/2005. However if you are proving your tempo to some other person and collecting certain amount as charges on monthly/ annual basis. No service tax is payable by you. If you need clear answer please elobare your question.

That may be unique to California (their kinda weird out there compared to the rest of the country any how) Federal wage and hour laws require (in most cases) that time and one half be payed for any more than 8 hours in any one day and over 40 hours in any week. Their are no requirements for an employer to pay double time, triple time etc. unless it is a part of some kind of contract (union or other wise) so you will have to check with your state's wage and hour board.
