When you quit your job, are you eligible for your 2 weeks vacations to be paid? How about when you get fired?

Answer 1

The chances are that you are probably not entitled to payment. Most companies don't rollover vacation at the end of the year, and they don't pay compensation if they aren't used.

Technically, your vacation probably "expires" when you leave your place of employment.

Answer 2

With most employers, you accumulate a certain number of paid vacation hours per month; you don't get all your paid vacation allotted to you at the beginning of the year. Normally, you will be paid for any vacation hours you haven't taken regardless of whether you quit or are fired.

Answer 3

Depends on the company you work for and their rules.

Where I work, if you quit or get fired they prorate your vacation earned and used. You can even end up owing them money back if you've used more than you've earned.

If you're a union shop, then that adds another dimension and the comapany is bound by the contract.

Speak with your HR person or read your company handbook. There should be a section that covers termination.

Answer 4

It depends on your state wage and hour law. Most states require you to be paid vacation if you give proper notice, according to your employers policy and it is an earned benefit, according to their policy. Read your employee handbook if you have one. Then contact your state wage and hour division if your still unsure.

Answer 5

That would depends on the employment policies of the employing firm. If you are asking if there is a law which mandates such a payment, no, there is not.
