My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: IN
I was recently laid off with a company I had been with for 13 yrs--the last working day before my anniversary date. Last yr they forced us to take mandatory vacation days thus making us short when anniversary rolls around. Company policy states that vacation is accrued and payable after anniversary date (this isn't the original policy--it was changed after paying out those vacation hrs after terminating someone).
Question one: Do they have to pay me the vacation hrs I accrued up until lay-off?
Question two: Do they have to continue my insurance coverage for 30 days if I don't take cobra?
I was under the impression that they had to cover me for the 30 days after seperation and therefore incurred medical expenses they say I'm responsible for.
