Should I be paid salary for vacation time since I will be out status

[RRN8012]

My opt ends on Sept-7. I leave for India for H1B stamping (consular processing) and can come back only after October1.

Since I will be out of status during Sep 7-30, can I get paid from my vacation time which I accrued so far.

Thank you.

If you have accrued vacation time, you can of course be paid that.

Look at your current contract. If applicable, yes.

Check your employer policy, for paid time off.  If you terminate employment or laid off then you may not entitle for paid vacation. Talk to your manager.
