IF you quit a job does your employer have to pay for vacation hours you have earned?

If your state does not have a law providing this information then my understanding it is up to the company. Most usually do, but I have heard of some companies that will not.

In general if you are sent home for being sick, then you get paid for the part of the shift you worked, and get sick time for the part of the shift you did not work. If you job does not come with sick leave, then you would not get paid for the time off work.\n\nI tried to look in your state's law, but I did not find that it even mentions sick leave at all. Anything not found in the law, is left up to each employer's decision.

No, they owe you nothing. Unless you are working for a set salary, your employer has the absolute right to set your standard work hours. If you clock in early, without being directed by an authorized supervisor to do so, then you are, in effect, establishing your own work hours and schedule. Likewise, if you work more than 8 hours, they would be mandated under federal law to pay for the overtime, which they might not have in their budget. The FLSA (Fair Labor Standards Act) is very clear about such things. Yes, you can be  "docked" (penalized with loss of pay) for clocking in late, but you're not allowed to sign in to work even a minute before your scheduled starting time. I really wish it were not this way, but imagine what would happen if this were allowed to happen? You clock in 10 minutes before your shift, but I clock in an hour beforehand. Where does a manager draw the line at the definition of "early for work"? To be fair to all, they had to make this an absolute starting time. Sorry! If you want to clock in early, see your manager about adjusting your shift starting time.

yes... without a just cause. If you quit and don't return something, they can keep your paycheck until you bring it back.

If you're a salaried employee you will make the same amount regardless of how many hours you work.  This includes if you work less than specified.  However, if you're hourly, then they must pay you for each hour worked - by law.

I could be wrong, but I think that is more of an 'employer specific' kind of question. I live in Pennsylvania and I have held several different types of jobs here- some allow the rollover vacation days and others consider it a forfeiture of days at year's end, if they aren't taken....\nSo I think it might really be up to you employer...

Unfortunately, in most states, the answer is no, you are not required to be compensated for the time sleeping when away from home, even if the travel is purely business related. Generally, you should be compensated your normal hours, as well as possibly travel time, unless anything was agreed upon otherwise.  If you feel that you're being slighted, contact your state's Department of Labor and ask them.

If you quit a job you are not eligible for unemployment compensation.  Likewise if you are fired and your employer can prove gross misconduct or violation of company policy.  Once you are re-employed, you are no longer eligible as well.  If you are caught working for someone who is paying you cash, your benefits will stop and you will have to repay any money you received under unemployment benefits.  These are just a few of the circumstances that would alter your eligibility for benefits.  I'm sure there are others.

If you are an hourly employee, yes they are required to pay you.  If they aren't, go up the chain of command and document it very well.  If you still don't have any results, then contact the Department of Labor.  This is considered "working off the clock" and is highly illegal.

That first one sounds odd. I don't think they should be taking money out unless it's for taxes, etc.\n\nFor full-time jobs, you accumulate vacation time, so after one year, you'll earn your two weeks and you'll get paid for those two weeks as if you were working. That money is already figured into your salary, so it doesn't really come out of the bosses pocket.\n\nFor part-time jobs, you get vacation pay added onto every paycheque.  So if you're pay is $10/hour and you get 4% vacation pay. You'd actually get paid $10.40/hour. The theory is that when you go on vacation, instead of them paying you, you save that extra 4% they gave you and live off of that during the vacation.

You can't get Employment benefits if you resign a job UNLESS you can prove that you were forced to resign or you had just-cause (any type of harrassment, poor working conditions, etc.). But if you just walked out cause you hated your job, sorry. You can't collect.\n\nBy the way it is EMPLOYMENT benefits, not UNEMPLOYMENT benefits.  Such a common misconception......

Only if you have no sick leave hours left, then it can come out of vacation hours.

In Washington State employers are required to make final payment of all outstanding earnings to the employee by the end of the next pay period, regardless of whether the employee was discharged or resigned.\n\nper the Washington St. Employment Standards

may as well quit your job then so you wont have to be fired down the road then. sure, i doubt you would be fired over that one thing.  but youre going to turn into the liability really quickly if you do that.  look at it this way,  you already spend hours in a place you dont want to be to make your boss happy so you can continue to have a job.  whats a few more hours in a place where you can have a hot dog and a coke?  good luck
