However, there are several caveats here. You'll have to check your employment contract and it depends on the manner in which you accrued the vacation time. Was it one day / year for 24 years? Or was it all collected in the last year (<i>i.e.: you get 6 weeks vacation and didn't use it all</i>) Either way, vacation time is money you've earned so it generally has to be paid out. There may be some obscure exception, but it's certainly not the norm. Hey Cathy, the general answer is Yes.

However, it is common for the employee to give 2 weeks notice in the US, and if the company terminates employment, they usually have to give a reason and may be required to offer some form of compensation such as a severance package or be entitled to unemployment benefits. As for your particular case, or in other countries, I cannot say. Sharon,
