yes you can take it in the form of a check by cashing it in or get paid for one week after they fire you

If you only started work 20 weeks ago, you are probably not yet eligible to collect unemployment. You usually have to wait 6-12 months from when you began work before you are eligible. The money is usually paid quarterly. However, I am not sure how quickly the records are updated. They probably would not have begun paying until April and the government's mail could have been slow at that time due to tax returns being sent the same month.

It depends on what is in your contract with your employer. If you have no contract, it may be stated in your Employee Manual whether you are entitled to vacation time pay if you are fired.
As a practical matter, most employers accrue vacation time for employees over the year. Your Employee Manual or any publications issued by your Human Relations Department should specify how this matter is handled.

That would probably depend on your terms of employment. In most cases, the answer would be no. The only event that you would be owed for unused vacation time would be if you are under contract and your contract states that a terminated employee has to pay a part or all of unused vacation time.

Depends on your state laws where you live. In Ohio the answer is no. However, my Ohio employer sometimes has to pay unused vacation time to our sales force who live in various other states.
It also depends on any employment or union contract you may have.

Yes, it is time earned. However, some employers use a schedule, like one day a month until time is up. Or one week for every six months worked. Also, if you have used vacation time not earned, they can deduct that amount from your final check.

Depends on the company policy. Some allow you to cash it out when you leave, some dont. Others allow a partial cash out, while others have a policy of dont use it you lose it. You have to find out what your companies practicing policy was when you were fired.

Not if you are fired. Paid vacation leave is a privilege and not an entitlement. If you are no longer employed, you sacrifice the leave as it is something that is lost since you did not use it.

It depends on the state, the size of the company and the company policy.

depends if your union has it in the contract.If their is no union,it may be up to the employer, and most likely he will not want to do that. I think it should depend on the serious of the firing.

No, if your fired for failing to do your job then they can keep the money as money owed back to the company for your failures.
