[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 1175527, member: 22880"] All unused vacation time is paid to the employee. This depends on the state (unlike what another poster suggested). Some states require employers to pay departing employees for ALL unused time, including sick and other 'flexible days'. Other states have no such requirement and the employee will lose these days if they aren't used prior to departure. You need to ask someone in your station, to see if your particular state requires employers to pay for any unused time. Get his email and personal phone number then have him write up any letter AFTER you know he has terminated his employment with Express. I'd also hold off on having anyone call him 'personally' until you KNOW he has terminated his employment with Express. Using a former manager as a personal reference can be risky - there maybe things about this individual you don't know or suspect. I'd honestly recommend that you DON'T use this individual as a personal reference. Employers anymore will look for 3 or so 'personal contacts' to collaborate that you are who you say you are - then will verify your employment through separate means. The personal contacts are usually people that you've known for 3+ years that can attest to your character. The days of employers calling a prospective employee's former manager up are almost gone (at least for large corporations). If someone works for a small company, this practice is still followed, but for large employers, it is fraught with peril (for both the new and old employer). Most employers will only confirm dates of employment and (if specifically requested), salary and wage information. They WON'T have the former employee's manager speak with a prospective employer - too much potential for litigation from the former employee. [/QUOTE]
