Yes. You must be paid all accrued but unused vacation and sick leave (assuming you are entitled to payment for unused sick time) at the timeof your termination. An employer that willfully fails to make these payments must pay the employee the equivalent of one days' worth of wages for each day these payments are not made up to 30 days. Please call (213-381-6557) or email me ([email protected]) if you would like to discuss the matter further.
Sincerely,
