The answer to your question will likely depend upon your employer's policy. Check your employee handbook to see if the company addresses the issue. However, if the handbook is silent, case law suggests that courts will often award accrued vacation time to employees who have been terminated. If it's a substantial amount of money, you may want to contact an employment attorney.

Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved.
