Employment Handbook

Asked on Jul 27, 2023

Employment handbook vacation policy?

I recently accepted a new job and was given an employee handbook to read over. I read the policies regarding vacation time, but I am unclear about how exactly the policy works and what the process is for taking a vacation. I want to make sure I understand the policy correctly and that I am following the correct procedure for requesting vacation time.

Merry K.

Answered Aug 18, 2023

Hello - I am a Washington State employment law attorney. It can often be difficult to understand a policy in an employee handbook. I would suggest two things: (1) Do not ask about the policy or how to interpret it until you have completed at least two months on the job - wait until your supervisor and coworkers get to know you; most likely, you are not eligible for vacation leave until you have been on the job for several months anyway. (2) After two months, ask your supervisor about the policy - not HR. Your supervisor is most likely the person who will have to approve your leave, and he or she will appreciate that you went to him or her instead of going to HR.

Employment handbook disciplinary policy?

I am an employee at a large company and I recently received a disciplinary action for an incident that occurred in the workplace. I was given a copy of the company's Employee Handbook, but I am not sure what the disciplinary policy is or what the consequences are for violating the policy. I would like to understand the disciplinary policy so that I can better understand the disciplinary action taken against me.

Diane D.

Answered Aug 15, 2023

You would have to submit the policy to an attorney so that it can be explained to you. You can submit a work order through ContractsCounsel.

Asked on Aug 10, 2023

Employment handbook employee rights?

I am an employee of a company and I recently received a copy of the Employment Handbook that outlines the rights and responsibilities of the employees. After reading through the handbook, I am concerned that some of the policies may not be in compliance with the law. I want to make sure that my rights as an employee are being respected and that I am fully aware of any legal obligations that I may have.

Merry K.

Answered Aug 18, 2023

Hello - I have been an attorney for nearly 38 years and specialize in employment law. It would be helpful to know what policies concern you, but be aware that federal and state law, and usually county and city as well, override any policies that are incorrect. Meanwhile, keep in mind that if you are an "at will" employee you have few, if any rights (other than certain ones protected by law); that sometimes employers don't keep up with updating their polices; and that HR is not your friend. If you feel your rights are not being respected, you may want to book a 30 or 60 minute consultation with a WA State Employment attorney. If you feel you have been or are being discriminated against because of a protected class status, you can also file discrimination complaints with the WA State Human Rights Commission and/or the EEOC. If you are not getting the wages you should be receiving, you can file a wage complaint with the state; you will be protected from retaliation for doing so. If you feel your working conditions are unsafe, you can file a complaint with the WA State equivalent of OSHA, and/or with OSHA (federal). Best wishes, Merry

Severance Agreement And Release

Colorado

Asked on Feb 25, 2026

Can a Colorado employer change the date of termination on a severance agreement and release notice that says "draft"?

I was recently given a Severance Agreement and Release from my company. My position will end in May. Because the agreement says "draft" and has not been signed, I am unsure if the company can come back with a revised version saying my last day will be sooner.

Demetre K.

Answered Feb 27, 2026

The short answer is that they probably can. Colorado is an at-will employment state, meaning your employer can generally change the terms of your employment, including your termination date, at any time and for any lawful reason. Since the agreement is marked "draft" and hasn't been signed by either party, there is no binding contract locking in that May end date. That said, this is the general rule. If you have an employment agreement, offer letter, or other written documentation that guarantees a specific termination date or notice period, that could change the analysis. You would want to review any such documents carefully to confirm whether your employer has already committed to specific terms. There are also some important protections worth knowing about in this context: If you are 40 years of age or older and the severance agreement asks you to waive age discrimination claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), your employer must comply with the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (OWBPA). Among other things, the OWBPA requires that you be given at least 21 days to review and consider the agreement before signing, or 45 days if you are being terminated as part of a group layoff or reduction in force. You also get a 7-day revocation period after signing during which you can change your mind. Here is the part that may relate to your question: if your employer makes a material change to the agreement, such as moving up your termination date, the review period starts over. So even if you have been sitting with the draft for a couple of weeks, a revised version with a new termination date would likely give you a fresh 21 or 45 day window to consider the updated terms. ***This response is for general information purposes only and does not constitute legal advice or create an attorney-client relationship.
