Add Comment Question: Is it right for the employer to give you vacation pay after being employed for three year's, employer then say it's a mistake, he'll take it back next pay check!? Answer: Hi Sharon, Thank you for your question. Did your employer say why it was a mistake? Based on what you have said, it seems you are owed vacation pay and for the employer to unilaterally withhold or request it back, that would go against the employment standards legislation. In any event, I suggest you give our firm a call to schedule a consultation where we will be able to gather more information and be in a better position to properly advise you as to your rights and entitlements.
