The situation is a little complicated.

Employers are required to abide by their explicit statements of policy regarding vacation pay.

That is, if they say in your employment contract or employee handbook that they will pay out accrued vacation, then they have to.

If they don't mention it, then they don't have to.

If they have historically done so, you could probably argue that that constitutes established policy, even if it's not actually written down anywhere.

But the bottom line is as long as they never do it and never say they will, Oklahoma law does not require them to.

When you quit your job in New York state are you entitled to vacation pay?

This can depend on company policy, so you need to check with the company's Human Resource department. In many companies, if an employee has unused vacation time, and if they were not fired, then the company will usually give the vacation pay. If this company is not willing to pay you for your earned vacation time, and you disagree with their decision, then call the Labor Board in your area; they may be able to help you, and they do not charge a fee for this service.

Can an employer in Colorado refuse to pay an employee for vacation time earned by an employee?

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). For further information contact your State Dept of Labor.
