Employer's Claim for Negative Hours and Unearned Vacation Repayment Upheld

The appellate court considered an employer's claim for compensation from a former employee for accrued negative working hours and the repayment of unearned vacation wages following termination. The court upheld the lower court's finding that the employer implicitly waived the right to deduct wages for negative hours by unconditionally paying the full monthly salary despite being aware of the missing hours through internal records. Furthermore, regarding the claim for repayment of excess vacation pay, the court maintained its prior jurisprudence that an employer cannot reclaim paid vacation wages if the employment relationship was terminated by the employer for economic reasons, preventing the employee from subsequently working off the excess leave taken.
