If I didn’t take vacation time, does my employee have topay me for the days that I didn’t take offas perstate law?

I am considered part-time at my job but work anywhere from 12 to 39 hours each week. I generally average 25 hours a week. I have worked for my employer for a little over 2 years now. However, I just recently found out that because I average more than 20 hours a week, I’m entitled to vacation under NH law. Does my employer have to pay me for the days that I didn’t take off?

It certainly sounds like you should be able to from the way you have written the question. The best party to ask this question of is the New Hampshire Department of Labor: www.labor.state.nh.us  They will be able to let you know how the law applies to you and what your recourse is in this matter.  I am sure that there is a formula that they use for calculation of benefits.  I am sure that they can help you calculate the time, if any, that you should have been paid.  You have documentation, I am sure, of the time that you spent working there to calculate the average needed.  They can direct you to the statute (the specific law) as well. Good luck with it all.
