is an employer required to pay for unused vacation time when an employee quits (with a 2 wk notice)?

Answer 1

my friend just fought with the company I work for over this....a lawyer told us that you are entitled to it because it is time that you have earned serving as an employee for them...damn right that's ur money

Answer 2

Any legitimate firm or company has kept track of your hours and is by law required to pay out unused vacation provided the employee has been employed for no less than 8 months. That is if the 2-week period of notice is given and adhered to. I don't know of any circumstances where that has not been honored so, if termination of employment ends before the 2-week period that might negate the terms. Best to check with labour relations.

Answer 3

Labor laws are determined by the state, so it would depend where you live. In California for example, there is no requirement for employers to pay vacation pay to employees, but if your employment contract stipulates that you are entitled to vacation pay, then the employer is contractually obligated to pay this to the extent that it has been earned. If your state's labor code does not cover vacation pay then you should refer to your employment contract.

Answer 4

Under Federal law, no. These are benefits that are given at an employer's discretion, and as such are not regulated by any Federal law (except when the employer has entered into a Federal contract).

Your state laws may vary on this.

Answer 5

It depends on state regulations and the company policy. Do you have an employee handbook? Check there first.
