UPDATE: Was hired as a Temp over a year ago, just realized coworkers (also originally hired “temp”) with same job/hours as me are now offered PTO & I am not. No official acknowledgement of anyone’s change to “regular” employee

Hi all, an update:

I spoke with HR on the phone last Friday, she said fine, she’ll dig deeper and meet with my managers but can’t change anything w/o discussion with upper management. This meeting has not yet happened. Our company is very small, 40 people at most, so this bureaucracy is frustrating…

Also, we were told we were getting holiday pay for President’s day yesterday. My coworkers mentioned that it was already accounted for on their timesheets but it’s not on mine. Also learned we were meant to be paid holiday pay for Christmas & NY day as well, I received none of them.

Assuming I qualify for at least 20hr PTO, this is now over $700 they are withholding from me but no one else. (Another “temp” person was paid for these holidays. Our contracts do not say temps get holiday pay but apparently other temps received it.)

I didn’t mention in my original post but I am actually moving abroad in three weeks, so new job isn’t an option before then and I want to get this settled by then.

Also, I’m in CA if anyone can help me understand the laws. The actions of the company do not reflect contract, they actually provide more than promised for some, not including me (?) but my contract does not entitle me to these benefits.
