Should a company pay an employee all accrued but unused vacation at termination or resignation?

Ethically is a good-will gesture that would be a sound moral judgment to make.
Legally, some states require accrued leave be paid to employees upon separation (some may restrict it to willful resignation only), other states rely on company policy to determine whether the accrued time will or won't be paid upon separation, and other states have no laws, meaning you will probably not be paid and will not have a case to claim it unless you can demonstrate that your employer routinely paid others in a similar situation to yourself.

Can an employer refuse to give the employee his earned vacation time off and not to pay them?
Under "normal" employment termination curcumstances, this question depends entirely on the state in which you work in. Different states have different regulations which will contribute to the outcome of your earned vacation pay. In many states, employers are required by law to pay an employee accrued vacation time, regardless of whether you quit, or are fired. Your "earned" vacation time is looked upon exactly as that - "EARNED", so it is considered a payable and taxable. There are states however where there are no provisions, and the outcome of whether you receive pay for accrued time is entirely up to your employer. In a case such as this, you have to consider the following factors: * Does the state require pay for unused vacation time at all (some states just simply do not require this)? * Was there an agreement which entitles the employee to be paid for accrued time off? * Was there an agreement which DOES NOT entitle the employee to be paid for accrued time off? * What is listed in the employee handbook? -HR Monkey-

Can you receive termination pay and severance pay?
The payment of the employee's final wages is different from severance pay. Final wages are mandated by law to be paid -- an employee who is discharged must be paid all of his or her wages, including accrued vacation, immediately at the time of termination. On the other hand, severance pay is a special form of compensation from the employer. There is no law requiring an employer to offer or provide such. So in case of termination, the employee may receive both his final wages as well as a severance pay package (if provided by the employer).

Journal entry to record an accrued vacation expense?
Though I have never heard the term "accrued vacation expense" nor have I ever heard of a "vacation" being a business expense, however, the journal entry would be handled like most "payables". So if your company uses the account of Accrued Vacation Expense, the journal entry should be something like....Vacation Expense (debit) $XXXAccrued Vacation Expense (credit) $XXXOnce the amount is paid, a debit would be recorded in the Accrued Vacation Expense account and a credit to Cash, to remove it from the books and note that the debt (or expense) has been met.
