Legal Question in Employment Law in Massachusetts

Vacation Pay

I left my company by my choice, gave them two weeks notice, my last day was September 7, I had approximately 40+ hours of unused vacation time. As of October 11, I have been informed that the company still has me listed as an employee due to the group manager not filing the paperwork.

I had completed the exit interview and I nolonger have insurance with the company. What obligation does the company have concerning paying my vacation time?

What are my rights?

Pursuant to Massachusetts law when an employee resigns the employer must pay all wages due on the next regular pay day. Vacation pay is considered wages. A former employee must file a complaint with the Attorney General and after doing so may pursue a complaint in court which may result in the award of triple damages.
