More details to this question:
The owner of the store I worked at was verbal and a little sexual abusive, so after 41/2 years I quit. I just walked out after we got in a big argument. I emailed him twice about my last check and almost a month later finally received it in the mail. He said the first one got mailed to wrong address. He did not pay me any vacation pay which I have 1 week coming to me and no pay stub. And now I'm having trouble cashing the check because places are saying no such account. What should I do? Email him again or just contact labor law? Help!

You may contact the Ohio Department of Commerce's Wage and Hour Division or you could contact a lawyer to send a letter and perhaps file a lawsuit. You are not entitled to vacation pay unless there is a policy stating your employer pays vacation following a voluntary resignation. There is no law requiring employers to pay unused vacation.
