Paid time off is a benefit for employees. Since they’re not employees anymore why should they get benefits? Also, Buzzfeed will never pay out that money. They need it for the lawsuits headed their way because of the Covington affair.

This shouldn’t even be an issue. I thought liberals were pro-worker.

I can’t stand Buzzfeed but they need to pay those former employees what they owe them.

A News staff counsil. That doesn’t sound ominous at all.

They were fired. No paid time off.

Mike....maybe you could start a sort of Buzzfeedy thing, or wouldnt it be nice to take it over and make it non partisan???

What did the employee handbook - or contract of employment - or whatever it is they call the benefits and compensation package say? How is earned, accrued and vested time off outlined - that’s what was mutually agreed upon and enforceable by law.

Accrued, vested time off is like wages, they need to pay it. What jurisdiction doesn't require them to do so?

It would however be ironic if they pretended to pay them.

Nah.... I hope they're all on food stamps by the end of next month.
