My boss granted me vacation time but has not given me hours after I returned, do I have rights here?

I asked for vacation with 2-3 months notice, it was granted. Now my boss will not answer my phone calls and is leaving my texts on read. I work for a health store in vitamin sales, deli, and stocking it is not the most prestigious job but I assume I still have rights.

note: it has been a week since I have returned and I am losing money by just being on this site

Apparently you are not a union member. You would grieve that if you were.

You say you are losing money on this site. That sounds like you still receive at least minimum wages plus overtime if you worked over 40. Otherwise you would file for unemployment correct?

Given the limited facts you give look for another job or contact one of us employment lawyers for a consultation. You do have rights not to be discriminated (those are not your facts) and to be paid at least minimum wage for all worked hours and to collect unemployment if your pay has been cut so much that it is a substantial reduction in pay and you need to seek other work.

Call some employment lawyers before you possibly make the wrong decision.
