Well, they have to pay you any accrued, earned vacation upon termination. If they call it "severance pay," it doesn't really make a difference, unless they are making you sign a release or something else to get it. You shouldn't have to sign any releases in order to get your final paycheck, including unused vacation. For further info check out the Illinois Department of Labor website, where you can get information about filing a charge. Good luck -
