Re: Vacation Time
Did you have a policy in writing of what happens to accrued and unused vacation time? That would have a bearing on whether you need to pay it or not. Feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions.

Re: Vacation Time
It depends on what your firm policy is. Here at my firm, for instance, vacation time is "earned" as an employee works; therefore, when they leave they have already earned that paid time away and we pay them. Some places, though, vacation time is advanced.
