Can an employer pay an employee wages with a debit card?
No. Vermont law, 21 V.S.A ยง343 does not permit wages to be paid via debit card at this time. The statute requires that wages be paid in cash or check, as defined in the Vermont UCC (Uniform Commercial Code). A debit card does not fit the definition of cash or check defined by the UCC. Q: My employer let me go and did not give me any reason (or gave me an unfair reason). What can I do? A: Under Vermont law an employer is not required to provide their reason for termination. If you were discriminated against based on age, sex, race, creed, national origin, physical or mental impairment, pregnancy or sexual preference, you should contact the Civil Rights Division of the Attorney Generals Office at 802-828-3657. For any other reason you must consult with a private attorney. Q: If I quit or am discharged, will I receive pay for vacation or sick leave? A: Your employer does not have to pay you unless he/she had provided you with a written statement agreeing to pay for earned, but unused time
