A former Disneyland employee, Reykeel Zorio, is bringing a lawsuit against Walt Disney Worldwide Services. The claim is the house of mouse violated to California labor code.
Reykeel Zorio was hired in 2011, and held a job the Disneyland Resort. At some point his employment was transferred over to Walt Disney Parks and Resorts US Inc.
The plaintiff claims that Walt Disney Worldwide Services Inc., did not pay him vacation time that he says was due to him.
Oh wait there is more, Zorio also claims that Disney, failed to immediately provide employees who had been fired or terminated wages that were their due, along with vacation time and other forms of compensation that they were supposed to get under California labor employment law.
California and labor law holds, according to the complaint, that employees who resign are paid the aforementioned compensation within 72 hours of submitting their resignation. The California labor lawsuit claims that this was not done.
There are 6 California properties named in the lawsuit, Disneyland Hotel, Disney Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel, Downtown Disney District, Disneyland Park and Disney’s California Adventure Park. The class-action lawsuit would include any and all former nonexempt employees of the two Disney companies named as defendants, who might have worked at any of those properties over the past 4 years. There over 500 people taking part in this suit and they would be entitled to wages for each day they were not paid for up to a month from the time they were due, according to California state labor laws.

Such a litigious society…deep pockets indeed. Disney’s reputation could be harmed, so they would be more likely to settle…sad.
I think people are too quick to file lawsuits, especially against companies that have deep pockets.
So, he didn’t get fired, he got transferred and he’s claiming that they didn’t pay him for his vacation time. Didn’t it go with him?
This sounds just like Disney-screwing every last penny out of everyone that they can, and it’s bull that they don’t pay their fired or resigned workers wages or vacation time that they have ALREADY EARNED!!!

I really think it depends on if it’s stipulated by collective bargaining agreement (An agreement negotiated between a labor union and an employer that sets forth the terms of employment for the employees who are subject to the agreement. This type of agreement may include provisions regarding wages, vacation time, working hours, working conditions, and health insurance benefits.) is.
So it really comes down to what’s in that agreement that you sign when you become an employee.
I live in virginia and if we are terminated they do not pay us for our unused vacation time.
I say pay them! It’s only fair! It’s the law, + Disney should be following the law, just like everyone else!
