Employer Attentive Care (AC) appealed from a jury verdict awarding decedent Steinmetz’s estate nearly $57,000 representing accrued vacation time. Steinmetz was employed at AC from 1979 until her death in 2004. AC’s president testified that from the time Steinmetz began working until 1998 there was no limit on the amount of vacation time that could be accrued, but claimed that AC never made any payments to any employee in lieu of vacation time. The jury found plaintiff proved that Steinmetz accrued unpaid vacation time and AC did not have a policy manual in 1979 that provided that no payment would be made to an employee for unused, accumulated vacation time. However, a unanimous panel found plaintiff failed to prove decedent either had a contractual entitlement to be paid for the accrued vacation time, or that she relied on express representations that she would be paid for such. It also noted plaintiff failed to establish that AC had a practice of making or at any point made any payments in lieu of vacation time to its former or current employees. Hence, it concluded plaintiff failed to establish a prima facie case, reversing the judgment, and directed judgment be entered in AC’s favor dismissing the complaint.
