Do I receive my sick and vacation leave upon termination?
My husband and I live in Nevada and he got fired 2 weeks shy of completing his 9
month probation. He had accumulated 51.44 vacation time and 46.60 sick leave. He
got his last check in the mail today. They took out all the normal deductions,
including full insurances, and zeroed out his leave. Is he entitled to received
all the leave he accumulated?

In your state, the employer would only have to pay out accrued, but unused, vacation days or sick leave if, and only if, there was a written contract or a firm, unequivocal written policy stating they would. In the absence of a written contract or policy, they are under no obligation to pay your husband.
