VACATION PAY LAWYER –
REPRESENTING WORKERS NATIONWIDE

Use It or Lose It?  Sound familiar?

When it comes to vacation pay, employees often assume that this is the case and that when they are terminated or resign their unused vacation time is lost and can’t be cashed out, particularly when it is company policy and stated in the employee handbook.  However, depending on the state in which you work, this may not be so – regardless of what the employer’s vacation policy says.  An increasing number of state courts (including California, Massachusetts, Illinois, Maryland and Nebraska) have ruled that unused vacation time is to be treated as earned wages or a vested benefit, and must be paid upon termination of employment, even if the employer has a written policy to the contrary.

Our firm represents individuals nationwide in labor and employment matters, including claims to recover the value of unused vacation pay that has been wrongfully withheld from workers.  Our focus, commitment and mission is to aggressively protect the rights of workers to receive “fair pay” for the work they have done and the benefits they have earned. For more than a decade, we have dedicated ourselves to preserving and protecting the rights of individual employees.

The laws that govern an employee’s right to be paid for their unused vacation time are state specific and sometimes unclear or confusing.  It is important for you to know your rights — we do, and we are here to assist you if you believe that you are not being paid in compliance with your state laws that cover when and if employees are entitled to be paid for their unused vacation time. If you think that your rights are being violated, you need an established, experienced, aggressive and respected team of attorneys on your side. Now that you have found us, let us answer your questions and find out how we can help you recover the value of the unpaid vacation time that you and your co-workers are rightfully owed.
