Full Question:
I had a verbal agreement with the owner of the company that in 2007 I would get 5 sick days and 10 vacation days with pay. He is now trying to use Memorial Day, July 4, and Labor Day as "vacation days", when in fact the entire company was closed on those days. What recourse do I have?

Answer:
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) does not require payment for vacations or holidays (federal or otherwise). Holidays and vacations are generally a matter of agreement between an employer and an employee (or the employee's representative). If you don't have a written contract, the definition of a vacation day will be a matter of interpretation for the courts.
