Resigning employees are entitled to any pay for work that they have performed. This includes earned commissions and accrued vacation pay, if applicable. This is true unless otherwise provided for by a collective bargaining agreement or employment contract. If you think that your employer deprived you of your right to resignation notice pay or any other final pay, consider consulting filing a claim with the Florida Agency for Workforce Innovation and/or consult a lawyer.
