I have a salaried employee who receives 10 days of paid personal time off (to be used for vacation or sick leave). She used five of these days during the last pay cycle, she indicated that she believes that she should be paid her regular salary amount plus pay in the amoun equal to five days. Basically, the vacation days count a bonus pay on top of regular salary. My understanding of this is that paid days off simply mean that you get to take days off without it being taken off your normal salary. You get paid even though you did not work those days. Am I correct?
