I never got to use my vacation time before they terminated me. How can I get my two weeks pay I accrued?
I was terminated abruptly. I had two weeks vacation accrued. Since they terminated me they say they don't have to pay it, although they could deny your requests every time you put one in. Do I have any rights?

I agree with Mr. Fortney and would add that the answer also depends on when the vacation is considered earned. If you haven't done so already send them a letter demanding payment and a precise explanation as to why they refuse to do so. You should also demand a copy of all their written policies regarding vacation pay. You should then share the policies with an employment lawyer to advise regarding your rights.

Pursuant to Ohio law, employees are entitled to their unused vacation time upon termination unless the employer has a clear personnel policy (usually an employee handbook) detailing situations where unused vacation time is forfeited.
Your situation depends upon whether your employer uses a handbook or other written policies, and whether those policies discuss the forfeiture of vacation time.
