vacation pay after lay off

My company recently laid off two employees. What are the laws concerning vacation pay in Pennsylvania? Are they entitled to the vacation pay for any vacation that they have not taken? If so, how long do we have before we pay it?

Thank you for any information that you can provide.

They are entitled to vacation pay they have earned.

In Pennsylvania, if you have earned your vacation pay, you are entitled to be paid your vacation pay when you are terminated. However, whether you have 'earned' that pay depends on the policy of the company. I can't give any further advice without looking at the policies and understanding how and when the employees were terminated.

If you wish to discuss this issue further, please feel free to call me.
