I'm from Ohio and was recently told my services were no longer needed, and that I was terminated immediately. I worked in a machine shop and had just gotten a production report that reflected incorrect information; this report had supposedly been a big factor in the review I had received the week before. The production report showed me working there with very poor production rates during a two week period I had been on medical leave (without pay)due to injuries sustained in a car accident. My direct supervisor didn't understand what I was trying to explain to him and sent me to his manager. The manager, after some discussion did "run some more numbers" based only on the days I really worked but said it didn't change my rate enough to merit an increase. I set the numbers back down on his desk, said fine and turned to go back to work. Before I got out the door I was told I was terminated - I didn't stick around for the reason why. The next day when I went back to get my tools, my boss told me he had been told I was fired for insubordination.
My paychecks show that I have 80 hrs of vacation available to use, and the company has no written rules - I'm being told now I cannot have my vacation pay, even though it was earned in 2000. I feel I'm entitled to this money - but the HR Mgr says it's up to the owner's son, who told me this morning on the phone that I basically quit and am not entitled to it. He also said I'm lucky they aren't protesting my unemployment claim.
Do I have any recourse to get this vacation pay? I have no job, assume they'll give me a bad refeerence and need the money!
