Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida
Accrued Vacation & Accrued Bonus
I was terminated from a position with a publicly traded company and I'm owed accrued vacation/sick pay and an accrued bonus. What are my rights to these payments. Previously terminated employees have been paid for accrued vacation.

Re: Accrued Vacation & Accrued Bonus
In Florida, vacation/accrued time is not required to be paid under any statute. However, if the employer has a handbook or other written policy of paying out these types of benefits at termination, you may be able to obtain recovery of these amounts.
