Can an employer take away your earned vacation time when you get fired?
The employee manual I signed stated "you would receive one week of paid vacation after a year." It said nothing about it being accrued, or that you forfeit your
right to this if you leave or are fired.
I was not allow to take a copy of my manual when i left I was told to leave it, I think they did this so I would not be able to use it.
I was employed her for 1 yr and 3 months.
When I called to inquire about why I did not receive it I was told they had previously paid me for 1 and 1/2 days of vacation time, however I had not knowledge of this nor was it ever posted on any of my pay stubs.
What can I do??

(although at some point you may wish to retain one).
