Yes. There is no law that says that an employer actually has to give you any paid vacation in the first place. A vacation, like sick leave, is a perquisite of the job.

That's the reason that you must work for a minimum number of days before you are eligible for any time-off.

If you resign or are terminated before you take your "earned" vacation, unless the employer chooses to compensate you for it, you simply forfeit the time off and any equivelant in pay because you did not take advantage of the perk attached to the job.

As always, there can be exceptions (e.g.: if your employment is covered under a specifically worded contract).

Can an employer refuse to pay you earned vacation if you quit?

My guess is that it all goes to the contract you have with your employer. If you requested a vacation day and it was approved, they should pay you with vacation time. If you just missed a day without approval, they can choose not to pay you. But this is all speculative. Read your contract/employee handbook.

Can an employer refuse to pay earned vacation days if an employee resigns in Alabama?

Yes. There is no law that say that an employer actually has to give you a paid vacation in the first place. The vacation is a perkquisite of the job. It is the reason that you must work for a set number of days before you "earn" the vacation. If you resign before you take the vacation, you simply forfeit the time and money because you did not take advantage of the perk attached to the job. "Earned vacation" only counts when you take the paid time.


Can an employer refuse to give the employee his earned vacation time off and not to pay them?

Under "normal" employment termination curcumstances, this question depends entirely on the state in which you work in. Different states have different regulations which will contribute to the outcome of your earned vacation pay. In many states, employers are required by law to pay an employee accrued vacation time, regardless of whether you quit, or are fired. Your "earned" vacation time is looked upon exactly as that - "EARNED", so it is considered a payable and taxable. There are states however where there are no provisions, and the outcome of whether you receive pay for accrued time is entirely up to your employer. In a case such as this, you have to consider the following factors: * Does the state require pay for unused vacation time at all (some states just simply do not require this)? * Was there an agreement which entitles the employee to be paid for accrued time off? * Was there an agreement which DOES NOT entitle the employee to be paid for accrued time off? * What is listed in the employee handbook? -HR Monkey-
