Usually:
1) Earned vacation days will get you that extra $ on your last pay.
2) If you have taken un-earned vacation days before your anniversary, the company has the option to deduct it from your last pay, or not.

That's usually the way most companies work.
 
If your have a union it will be all spelled out and you will get any vacation pay due. If you don't have a union there is a good chance you will get screwed out of it and have to fight for what you earned and is due you.
 
Shoe guy is correct in statement #1..

As for #2, unless it was specifically stated in your employment letter and/or contract that additional vacation days used will be deducted from your seperation pay, they can not deduct it.

I know this for a fact becuase I had this issue with an employee not long ago. I confirmed this with the Labour Board.

Good luck!

Very true! But I hardly see a contract without this anymore anyhow.
 
A number of companies include clauses about not taking vacation days before they're earned (with the annual leave prorated monthly), and about taking them within so many months after year-end (to avoid using vacation days at a higher rate of pay than that at which they were earned).

If you give two weeks' notice, and are (say) three days' vacation "in the hole", you might only be paid out for the seven days' difference (with the other three days repaying the unearned vacation days which were taken).
