In Arkansas, what the handbook, offer letter, or contract says about unused vacation at separation is what controls. Read it before counting on a payout, and keep a copy: a promise in writing is what makes the amount collectible.
Enter your unused hours and your rate to see the Arkansas rule on your numbers.
When the final check itself is due is a separate deadline: the Arkansas final paycheck checker shows it for a quit and for a firing.
Informational only, not legal advice. Sick leave, commissions, and bonuses follow different rules, and collective bargaining agreements can change the answer. For the timing rules and citations on the check itself, see the Arkansas final paycheck reference; this record is cited to No Arkansas statute addresses payout of accrued vacation at separation; Ark. Code Ann. §11-4-405 governs timing of final wages generally..
How the Arkansas rule works
No Arkansas statute or published agency rule addresses payout of accrued vacation when a job ends. Whether unused vacation is paid depends on the employer's own policy or contract. Ark. Code Ann. §11-4-405 covers the timing of final wages generally and may reach vacation an employer has promised by policy, but the statute does not mention vacation.
This checker states the rule and prices your unused hours; it is informational only and not legal advice, and it does not decide whether your employer owes you. The other half of the question, when the final check itself must arrive, is covered by the Arkansas final paycheck checker and the Arkansas final paycheck reference.
