Re: quitting employment
You have posed one of the more confusing (for lawyer) questions in Tennessee employment law. The answer will generally be that you are entitled to be paid your accrued paid time off (sick and vacation time), but only if the employer has not publicly (in a handbook) stated that such time is lost. It is almost the only time in Tennessee law that the employee handbook carries much weight.
