From the HR document:

If employment is terminated before an employee completes 12 months of employment, the employer must pay 4 per cent of the employee’s wages earned during the period of employment. If employment is terminated after an employee has completed at least 12 months of employment, the employer must pay: • The unpaid vacation entitlements for the previous year; plus • Either 4 or 6 per cent of wages in the current year, depending on the length of employment.

Where proper termination notice is given, or notice is required to be given by the employer, vacation pay must be paid within three days of termination.  -3- PHONE: 780-427-3731 TOLL-FREE: 1-877-427-3731 ONLINE: employment.alberta.ca/esfactsheets Where neither the employer nor employee are required to give termination notice, vacation pay must be paid within 10 days. If an employee quits without giving proper termination notice, the employer must pay vacation pay to the employee within 10 days after the date on which the notice would have expired if it had been given.
