Advice regarding paid vacation

[mickyc]

You sound like a very reasonable person. I agree with everything Suzie says. Ask for a copy of contract. If she can prove that's what it says then you are required to pay. If she will not provide copy then do not pay until she proves it. My guess is it isn't clearly written the way she is telling you but who knows. I know when I started my contract was missing a few things. As things came up I learned very quickly what needed to be added. She might very well think that you are obligated to pay but unless it is in the contract clearly stated she has no leg to stand on.
