Whistleblowers / Financially Ripped Off?

I am retiring from a job I have held for 13 1/2 years, for a company based in California. I have almost 300 hours of accrued vacation time, and I gave them 4 months notice that I would be retiring. My company says that they do not pay out for accrued vacation if the particular state law does not require it. In this circumstance, does Iowa require that I be paid for this vacation time or not? Thank you for your help!

A:

It all depends on what your employment agreement provided. Employment pay disputes are covered under Iowa Code 91A. Any employment agreement or policy manual that applied to this employment would be important to provide to an attorney that reviews the matter.
