Will my husband get paid for his vacation time?

We live in Michigan and my husband found a job making more money. Will his employer pay him for his vacation time? He has almost 70 hours of vacation time.|||in Michigan it is a matter of company policy.....


the only way to get an accurate answer to this question is to ask the employer.


NO ONE on Y!A (no matter how well meaning) can provide an accurate answer to this particular question.

EDIT: thumbs down for an accurate documented answer...


i guess that makes people feel better about themselves.





and 'jobbend' has mis-stated the law;


in Michigan if the employer's policy does NOT address the issue of payment at separation then they do NOT have to pay out the accrued time.....|||That depends on the company policies where your husband works.|||In most situations yes - IF he gave 2 weeks notice.


Most reputable companies will do this.





Also keep track of the 401K plan, open a roll over account at a discount broker.w


/|||Earned benefits like vacation, PTO, sick time, etc. are not protected by law. Company policy or a union contract will dictate under what circumstances fringe benefits are paid. In Michigan, there is a specific law that speaks to this (408.474) can be found at:

So if your husband signed a document that may have included an employee handbook that states conditions of payment of fringe benefits, that would dictate how those are paid. If not, then the company is obliged to pay him for earned benefits.|||I worked for a large company who's written policy was to pay you unused vacation time when you left. I gave my 2 weeks notice, worked it out faithfully, and STILL had to fight them for my unused vacation time (took me 3 months to get it!). The Wage and Hour Board will NOT help you either because vacation pay is not statutory (at least not in my state), it is a benefit, and they will not assist you in obtaining anything that is considered a benefit (vacation pay, bonus, etc.) Hopefully, most companies don't pull that kind of nickel and diming of people and he won't have a problem... provided its one of their company policies to pay out unused vacation pay.|||Yes....the higher courts ruled companies have to pay vacation time when a person leaves a job........they DO NOT have to pay accumulated ''sick days''.
