Quote:What if employment ends before an employee has taken vacation?
An employee might quit or have his or her employment terminated before receiving all of the vacation pay he or she has earned. In that case, the employer must pay the vacation pay owing to the employee (at least four per cent of the gross wages earned in each vacation entitlement year or stub period, less any of that vacation pay already paid--(see "Gross wages: what's included and what's not?"). This amount must be paid no later than seven days after the employment ended, or on what would have been the employee's next pay day, whichever is later.
Because vacation pay is earned as a percentage of wages, an employee who has earned any wages will have some vacation pay entitlement. For example, if an employee paid by the hour works just one hour, he or she will be entitled to at least four per cent of the hour's wages as vacation pay
