Sources and References
These are the sources behind factual statements on LeaveTools pages. Calculations themselves follow the policy each visitor enters; they are explained on the methodology page.

| U.S. Department of Labor, Vacation Leave | The Fair Labor Standards Act does not generally require payment for time not worked, such as vacations. | PENDING_ACCESS_DATE |
What these sources do not cover
The federal source above does not describe state laws, local laws, or employment contracts, which can set their own rules for paid time off. LeaveTools does not apply those rules. Check your employer's written policy and the rules where you work.
