i work for a ems service in ky. i was wanting to know can an employer ta away sick time that you have already occumalted? several of us had 300+ sick time hours saved when they decided to cut us to96 hr. the bad thing is that they had already paid a couple of employees for their time.

Unless there is an employment contract in place with specifications to the contrary, an employer does not have to offer any paid sick time at all. If they wish to change the particulars of their benefit and reduce the amount of paid sick time an employee may accrue, they may do so.

beth, i know that they can sat the pay at what they want, but can they take it away after you have saved up. we work for the county . so that makes the judge and fical court the boss. our standard operation procedurs state that we can get up to 400hr. but when this judge was elected he thanks that he can change everything no matter what the s.o.p's say

However changing the rules for municipal/public sector employees can be considerably more complicated than in the private sector. It depends upon a number of factors we have no knowledge of here.

Whether the judge has the authority to change pay/benefit practices based solely on his say-so is not something we can advise you on. You need to contact your county or city benefits administrator/human resources department and discuss this with them.

Sorry; missed that this was public sector. Maybe some capital letters and punctuation would have helped.
