Keeping Things Straight with Employees – Vacation Pay Upon Termination #1

Question: Hello, I was terminated from my job of almost 3 years as a vet tech. The doctor of the hospital is also the owner. I was fired because of personal reasons between me and him. We did not get along. My termination had nothing to do with my abilities. Am I entitled to my unused vacation pay? Thanks, Trish

FROM: PATRICIA

INDUSTRY: UNKNOWN

RESPONSE:

Patricia,

As for being paid for unused vacation, it depends upon the state in which this occurred.  Your area code of 727 indicates you are in Florida.  If the vet you worked for is in Florida, the answer is no – you are not entitled to unused vacation pay.

Thanks for Asking Bob and good luck to you.
