Paying out unused vacation time upon separation of employment. I live in Ohio. I believe they have to pay it since there is no policy. Correct?

Unfortunately, that is not the case. Vacation time is not guaranteed to be paid out like wages are. An Ohio employment attorney may be able to help you to recover them though. Some will offer free initial consultations.

If you believe you have been discriminated against because of your disability, you would probably benefit from speaking with an employment law attorney before accepting any severance agreement. Some attorneys will offer a free initial consultation.
