The accrued, unused balance on your last pay stub or in the HR portal. One vacation day is usually 8 hours.
Salaried? Divide your annual salary by 2,080 (52 weeks of 40 hours) for an hourly figure.
In Oklahoma, 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 Oklahoma rule on your numbers.
When the final check itself is due is a separate deadline: the Oklahoma 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 Oklahoma final paycheck reference; this record is cited to Okla. Stat. tit. 40, §165.1(4), §165.3; Okla. Admin. Code 380:30-1-8.
How the Oklahoma rule works
Oklahoma counts vacation pay as wages when it is provided under an established employer policy and has been earned. Vacation earned and due under the policy must be paid with final wages. The benefit becomes wages once the employee meets the criteria in the policy, so conditions the policy places on payout, such as forfeiture terms, control what is earned and due.
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 Oklahoma final paycheck checker and the Oklahoma final paycheck reference.
