Guess what? Whether you believe it or not, or whether it is ultimately fair, employers have no legal obligation to offer you any vacation time. The same applies to holiday pay. Both are given at the discretion of the employer and not mandated by law. Moreover, even if an employee does offer vacation benefits, the employer can dictate how much and when you can take that vacation time. Thus, believe it or not, an employer can tell you that you are not entitled to vacation pay unless and until you work for a full year

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-

No. Upon termination the employee is entitled to all wages accrued up to the point of termination. The employer has until the next scheduled pay day to pay those accrued wages.
Can you receive termination pay and severance pay?
The payment of the employee's final wages is different from severance pay. Final wages are mandated by law to be paid -- an employee who is discharged must be paid all of his or her wages, including accrued vacation, immediately at the time of termination. On the other hand, severance pay is a special form of compensation from the employer. There is no law requiring an employer to offer or provide such. So in case of termination, the employee may receive both his final wages as well as a severance pay package (if provided by the employer).
