We are in the landscape industry and so the majority of our hourly employees are basically seasonal workers. Many years ago the owner created a book of policies and benefits which included paid vacation and sick leave. Employees, after 5 years service, became eligible for 3 weeks paid vacation. Generous, indeed. He has decided that we need to cut the paid vacation back to a maximum of 2 weeks, not only for new employees but for existing as well. I don't have a clue as to how to sell this idea and make it the least bit palatable. Any help? We, along with the rest of the nation, are feeling the pinch financially.
