Changing jobs and vacation....

[Runes911]

I live in Louisiana and changing jobs. I have about 27 hours of vacation left unused. Do they have to (by law) pay whats left? I try not to talk to management anymore then I have to.

This is vacation time not sick time.

can you use the vacation days/hours before you leave?

Final Paycheck:

Louisiana employees who are laid off, fired, or who quit must be paid their wages in full at the next regular payday, not to exceed 15 days from the date of their discharge or termination. Wages include vacation time earned by the employee. An employee should send a written demand for payment of their final wages to their employer. After receipt of a written demand, the employer must pay all wages owed to the employee on a timely basis or be subject to a penalty that may be imposed by a court. Claims against an employer for late payment may be filed by way of a private lawsuit. The Louisiana Department of Labor does not have the authority to enforce this law. You may review this law at R.S. 23:631 -632.

They begged that I stay the two weeks. They have had 5 people quit within 2 months. I make 6, with possibly two more following. They still haven't figured out that they don't pay enough.
