<prompt> Human: Ive been working at this company for 7 months now and Ive accrued 7.5 days of vacation which I have never been able to take.What would you do? Try to get a check for those days? They wont give me any vacation now because were very understaffed. And if they dont want to give me the vacation or pay up, can I take them to the Department of Labor?  <response>: This may depend on your state but I recently learned that in my state youre not entitled to payout for unused vacation as long as they have a written policy on that...
