My employment as office manager was just terminated without cause after 7+ years. I received 8 weeks pay in lieu of notice but without vacation pay. According to ESA I'm entitled to 6% but my employer said that since I already took 5 days paid vacation this year that she's not paying it. I had 3 weeks of paid vacation per year instead of a % on my pay. I am 49 years old and will likely have trouble finding an equivalent job in a rural area.
