Lost my job, now I have an HR questions

Yesterday, I was let go from my job. I had scheduled 10 days of vacation starting on Wed. (Nice timing, right?!) My boss told me that she will pay me for the rest of the month. My question is this: does that mean she needs to pay me mu un-used vacation time ON TOP of my salary for the rest of the month? Or is she going to pay me in some other way?

I don't want to ask her until i know what's actually owed to me. 

 

Thanks!

  • It depends on your company's policies on if they pay out vacation or not. Not all companies pay out time when someone is let go. Our company will pay out ACCRUED vacation, but will not pay out their personal day, sick time, or any bonus hours.

    This!  Depending on the size of the company and like PP said, the policy.  My firm pays for accrued vacation only. 

    If she's paying you until the end of the month that could be severance.  So I would ask about your accrued vacation.

  • I'm sorry to hear this news. We've been there (3 times in 18 months). First and foremost you need to get everything in writing and you need to get information about unemployment. The company will have an ID# and such that you need to have in order to get unemployment and do it ASAP. It takes 2- 3 weeks to start getting checks.
  • Look into it- some states have different laws about this as well. My friend was let go and her company didn't want to pay out her vacation- well, the state of CA has a law where you have to.. so, they had to pay her. So, just look into it and research before you approach them.

  • They should have given you a severance package on your way out the door if  you were not terminated for a good reason.  I have been laid off twice and both times they spelled out what my severance package would be or wouldn't be.  Both also told me to go apply for unemployment.

    I would review the package that they should have given you before I contacted HR.
