Report Link To Pay or Not to Pay: Maryland Legislature Addresses Common Employee Leave Issues.McGuire Woods LLP - July 25, 2008 Two laws of particular importance to Maryland employers were passed by the Maryland General Assembly this past session. The first was intended to correct the confusion in Maryland law created by an unpublished 2007 decision of the Maryland Court of Special Appeals as to whether employees had to be paid their accrued but unused vacation upon termination. The second was intended to give employees flexibility in the use of employer paid time off in the event of an immediate family member’s illness. Report Link Amended Maryland Wage Payment & Collection Law Helps Employers.Jackson Lewis LLP - May 14, 2008 Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley signed into law emergency legislation amending the Maryland Wage Payment and Collection Law, Md. Code Lab. & Empl. §§ 3-504 & 3-505, on April 24, 2008, to provide employers with a safe harbor against the requirement that they pay out accrued paid leave upon termination of employment. Under the new law, an employer's written vacation pay or other paid leave policy will govern whether the employer is required to pay out unused accrued leave upon termination of employment. The amendment is retroactive and covers employees whose employment terminated after November 1, 2007. Report Link Maryland Enacts New Law Limiting the Payment of Accrued Leave Upon Termination.Ogletree Deakins - April 30, 2008
Maryland recently amended its Wage Payment and Collection Law, Md. Code §§ 3-501et seq., in a manner that affords employers a powerful statutory defense to employee lawsuits for monetary compensation and/or trebled damages for not compensating a departing employee on termination for accrued unused leave. As amended, the Maryland law now provides that an employer's written leave policy will dictate whether or not the employee is entitled upon termination to recover accrued unused leave provided the leave policy was communicated to a new employee at the time of hire. It provides no shield to employers that do not have a written policy that limits compensation for accrued leave to a terminated employee.
