|
| 7 |
| Sec. 5. Every employer shall pay the final compensation of |
| 8 |

employees in full, at the time of separation, if |
| 9 |
| possible, but in no
case later than the next regularly |
| 10 |
| scheduled payday for such employee.
Where such employee |
| 11 |
| requests in writing that his final compensation be
paid by |
| 12 |
| check and mailed to him, the employer shall comply with this
|
| 13 |
| request.
|
| 14 |
| Unless otherwise provided in a collective bargaining |
| 15 |
| agreement, whenever
a contract of employment or employment |
| 16 |
| policy provides for paid vacations,

| 17 |
| is terminated without having taken all vacation
time earned in |

| employment
policy shall provide for forfeiture of earned |

| 31 |
| or deferred
compensation, that an employee has already earned |
| 32 |
| during his or her employment shall not be
restricted, |
