FAQ

Employers in Massachusetts are not required to provide vacation time, but when they do, the cash value of accrued but unused vacation time must be paid out upon job separation. When an employee leaves work voluntarily, the cash value of his or her vacation time must be paid out in the next regular pay cycle.

Under the law, there should not be any carry over. Moreover, employees cannot carry over their statutory minimum vacation time. If there is carry over, the employer has failed to comply with the Employment Standards Act.

In regards to annual vacation pay, the Employment Standards Act states that an employer has to make sure that every year vacation time and money earned are paid out to the employee. There is no carry over. Sometimes an employer lets the employee take a vacation right away in the first year.

Employers in Massachusetts are not required to provide vacation time, but when they do, the cash value of accrued but unused vacation time must be paid out upon job separation. When an employee leaves work voluntarily, the cash value of his or her vacation time must be paid out in the next regular pay cycle.

Withholding Vacation Payments is Illegal Under Massachusetts law, employers who choose to offer their employees paid vacation must treat such payments as wages. Just as it is illegal to withhold wages, it is unlawful to withhold vacation time.

In short, if your employer offers you paid vacation, it must be treated as wages for purposes of the Massachusetts Wage Act. This means that upon separation of employment, your employer must pay you for all unused vacation time that you have accrued at the time of separation.

Since federal law is silent on paid vacation time, an employer who chooses to allow her employees a certain amount of vacation time each year is not mandated by federal law to have those days roll over.

The Wage Act (MGL c. 149, § 148) requires the employee to be paid for unused vacation time remaining at the time of his involuntary discharge. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that employers who choose to provide paid vacation to their employees must treat those payments like any other wages under MGL c. 149, A§ 148.

No use-it-or-lose-it policies permitted. Under California law, vacation is treated the same as earned wages and vest as the employee performs work. Because vacation is earned proportionally as the employee works, policies requiring employees to lose vacation already earned is illegal under California law.
