If I put in my resignation at my employer, and within the time period I will be eligible to receive vacation?

Question

I work in Michigan. I might have found a new job and the new pay period for my old job would start on June 17. This is also the day that I would be eligible to receive my 80 hours of vacation. I was going to put in my last two weeks so that my last day would be on the 18th or 19th, which would be after the start date of my eligible vacation. If they decided to fire me before this, hoping to not have to pay me the vacation time, are they expected to pay up until the 2 weeks plus my vacation time that I earned under Michigan labor laws?

Answer 1

Most employers do; but it's at their discression for the most part. Same with policy about unused vacation and termination.

Answer 2

They have to pay you for time you worked - nothing more.

If you are saying your vacation "resets" on June 17 then actually that is vacation for the coming year, not vacation that you have already earned.

Plus, employers generally have a human resource policy determining what (if any) unused vacation time they will pay for after you resign.

Answer 3

The employer doesn't have to fire you if you tender your resignation. All they have to do is accept it early. There is nothing in Michigan or Federal law which requires your employer to accept the conditions of your unilateral resignation.

If you resign to start the new job the employer can accept that resignation immediately, regardless of you 'requesting' two weeks or two days.

Answer 4

If they decide to end your employment before that date then no they do not have to pay this. Its up to them and how they feel about you

Answer 5

You are entitled to your holiday pay as you have served the time as you say ~~

Answer 6

they can terminate you the day you turn in your resignation
