I am leaving my job within the next few months and I have a bunch of unused vacation time. Does Massachusetts employment law require my employer to pay me for all of that time or do I have to hope he will keep his word and pay me?

Editor's Response
Recently, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled that an employer must compensate an employee for unused vacation time if the employee is discharged. In Electronic Data Systems Corp. v. Attorney General (2009), the Court upheld the Attorney General's advisory ruling that interprets an existing Massachusetts law known as the Wage Act.
Although the Court did not discuss the issue directly, the Attorney General's ruling specifically requires employers to compensate employees for unused vacation even if the employee leaves voluntarily. If you have trouble with your employer on this issue, try the Attorney General's Fair Labor Hotline at (617) 727-3465.
