When I recently gave notice (in Georgia), that day was made my last day. I was informed I would be paid out my two weeks notice even though I was not working it due to some state law. They also made the decision to pay me my 2 weeks accrued vacation on top of that.

I had some circumstances that required me to speak with my HR representative about it before I actually gave notice. As long as you are certain you are leaving, I'd discuss it with the HR representative to find out what the precedent and policies are for this situation.

They didn't decide anything. The company has to pay out all earned vacation. It's legally the same as salary. Similarly if you've taken more vacation than you've earned at the point that you leave you have to pay the difference back.

When would the latter ever happen? Think about it. If you exhaust your vacation hours then you simply are on leave without pay...that'd be a pretty major gaffe if payroll continued paying out vacation to someone who didn't have the hours.

Most places allow you to borrow vacation.

Hmm...INTERESTING...that's not how it works @ my work...nor is that how it works at any of the places that I've worked at...that's pretty darn cool though!

I can take my 3 weeks at any point in the year I want. I imagine they'd make me "pay it back" if I took off the first 3 weeks in January and then quit.

Odd...we use a leave bank...we get 6 weeks of annual leave every year, however, you must have the hours accrued. Then again, our leave also carried over (anything more than 240 hours is cashed out at the end of the year). So I can see how the "borrowing" leave makes sense if you lose it at the end...is that the case with you?

One job I worked gave the entire two weeks vacation as soon as jan 1st came around. I left the company sometime mid january, and was surprised to see a check in the mail a few days later paying me for those entire two weeks of unused vacation.
