Ok we are required to work 7 hours a day and most days stay for 7.5 hours required. We are paid based on a 35 hour work week. Without notification. We received our checks and noticed our checks were 20 short for the month of July. When confronted they told us that if we use a vacation day in the week we do not receive the additional hour pay. Roughly 2 hours per weeks but we still have to use 7 hours of vacation. Is this legal. So basically if we use a vacation day we will only get paid 35 hours instead of 30 hours worked and 7 hours vacation. I have worked for this company for 15 years and they have never done this.

Perfectly legal. As long as they pay you for all the time you actually worked, neither Federal nor state law cares if you ever get paid vacation time. Vacation pay is not required by either state or Federal law.

The one hope you may have is that your state is very, very big on following written policies. If there is a written policy that allows you that extra hour, the state *may* require that you be paid it until they change the policy. But as soon as they change the policy and publish it, the state will no longer have any interest in the matter.
