Fired now what?

[Question123]

What is the name of your state? Michigan.
I was terminated from my Job Yesterday. I was told I could come back to the office to pick up my check on next payday 2 weeks from now. I wanted to know if anyone knows If I have been terminated in Michigan does my employer have to issue my last paycheck within 72 hrs? Also I worked there 1 year and a week, and in my contract it stated 1 week paid vacation after a year of employment. Am I entitled to my one week vacation pay as it stated in the handbook? One last question. I had a friend in Michigan who took their employer to court over Unemployment insurance and was informed if you are paying for health insurance when you loose your job you are covered by that insurance until the end of that month. Is that correct?? Please advise. I thank you in advance for any help you may provide. Thank you again. Lost, first time being Fired.
Thanks,

No, Michigan law does not require your employer to issue your final check within 72 hours. You are not owed your final check until the next regular payday after the last day of work.

Very few states have that requirement, actually.

Being eligible for vacation is not the same as being owed it on termination. Unless your handbook specifically states that any unused vacation will be paid on termination, MI law does not require it.

if you are paying for health insurance when you loose your job you are covered by that insurance until the end of that month. Is that correct??

No, that is not correct. The law does not address how long your employer has to maintain your coverage. That is determined by the insurance contract. About 50% of the time it will be until the end of the month; the other 50% of the time coverage ends on your last day of employment.
