Legal Question in Business Law in Maryland

Re: termination

The answer to your question depends on what policy for payment of accrued leave was established by your employer at the time you began employment or at any time thereafter, and whether you received written notice of that policy. So if you were advised that the employer's policy was not to pay a terminated employee for accrued leave, or of some other leave policy that would result in the loss of your accrued leave, the employer would not be required to pay. However, if there was no such policy and the practice has been to pay departing employees for accrued vacation, you would have a valid claim against your employer under MD law unless it can distinguish your situation from the previous ones.
