i am quiting my job soon, and leaving on a bad note(in thier eyes) because they are left high and dry with no one to fill in my responsibilities. they have basically refused to crosstrain anyone in my position to fill in when i am out,instead dumping the load on another fulltime employee with his own work load.my supervisor and manager are the backstabbing vengefull types and i was wondering if they can prevent me from getting my weeks paid vacation that i am owed. it was schedualed for thanksgiving, but i am leaving in less than 2 weeks. i did give them notice, and i'm quiting because i am moving. we do not have a union.

If the vacation time has been earned already, they must pay it to you. They have no choice in the matter if they want to stay on the good side of the Department of Labor.
Vacation time can be given to employees in different ways, so check your company policy/employee handbook to see how you earn yours. Some give the whole vacation time at the first of the year or on your anniversary date. More commonly, it is earned during the year, pro rated by months. At this point of the year, you have worked six months, so you would be entitled to half your vacation time for the year.

Brian G. is correct.
An employer must pay you accrued (earned) vacation when you leave the company. Regardless of two weeks notice (or shorter).
Keep in mind, some companies allow you to take vacation time, even though you haven't "earned" it yet. So, be sure to tally up what you have actual earned against what you have actually used.

You can postdate your resignation by the total of sick, vacation and other leaves that you may have so you can stop working several days before your actual resignation and get paid for those days. Goodluck on your next venture!

If you are breaking a contract or employment agreement by leaving them 'high and dry' then don't bother persuing a bit of holiday pay... they could have grounds to sue you for abandoning your position contrary to agreement. otherwise, you would be entitled to any holiday payment that you had accrued to date, but it would be difficult to get it from them since you didn't give them prior notice of your intent to leave. a judge would take their plea favourably should you wish to persue the money through the courts, so it probably aint worth the effort.
what you gonna do for a reference now following leaving like that? you should always give notice, even if you're leaving on bad terms... in many cases, a company can relieve you of your obligation to give notice at their discretion anyway.

If they don't, go to labor relations and they will get it for you. I just had a settlement done with my former employer and labor relations went to bat for me. The refused to even talk about it, till labor relations got them by the short hairs and had them fork over.

It is very doubtful you will receive any of your vacation pay unless you belong to a union or your employer's policy manual provides for such payment.

They do have to pay for hours worked. Holiday pay is part of the employment contract you agreed to so they do have to pay holiday pay earned.

I'm not really sure, but you gave them proper two weeks notice. I would think that it is owed you, but you might want to check your company handbook. Good luck!
