Add Comment Question: If you are fired from a job how long do they have before they have to give you your vacation pay and to would they have to give you a week's pay Answer: Thank you for your question. Vacation pay should be paid simultaneously with your owing termination pay. The major question here is whether you have been offered an adequate severance package. Please visit our Free Severance Calculator at http://www.severancepaycalculator.com/ to determine whether you have been offered a fair severance package. The majority of severance packages are grossly inadequate and you could be owed significantly more. If you have been offered less, please give us a call at the number below.
