Common Issues Arising upon Separation from Employment
I. Employee Rights to Earned but Unpaid Wages, Commissions and Accrued Vacation and Sick Leave Pay
In general you have a right to the payment of earned but unpaid wages. Payment of other forms of compensation such as unpaid commissions, incentives, bonuses, accrues vacation or sick leave pay is dependent in large part on the language of your employer's policy as well as the employer's past practice in similar situations.
Initially, you should obtain a copy of the compensation plan documents and review the specific language that speaks to separation from employment.
You should request a meeting with your Human Resource representative to review policy and plan documents, answer any questions and arrive at the amount of compensation you are owed and how it will be paid to you.
