<prompt> Human: So I have been dealing with my former employer trying to collect my final earned but unused vacation for the year. I have been working with an hr rep, and the help desk. I opened up a ticket with them, and I followed up. They claimed that since I am eligible for rehire, they will not pay out my unused vacation. However, it is required by state law employed in Illinois. I am going to email the president of hr and the president of global compensation to escalate the issue. I am going to attach the separation policy provided to me that explicitly states I am owed this money, and will also reference that it is state law. Is there anything else I should say in my email? I think somebody in HR really screwed this up and Im not sure what other steps to take. Thanks for any advice.  <response>: You can file a complaint with the IL Dept of Labor.
