It depends on the terms and conditions of your employment agreement, but generally if you have accrued time off at the time you were discharged, you may be able to file a claim for the time through the Connecticut State Department of Labor. You would need proof of the accrued time, a pay stub and whatever other information they request. Further, depending on the reasons for termination, you may have a claim against your employer. I would strongly suggest you consult with an attorney.
