I now have an extreamly stressful, demanding job that is driving me nuts! Fortunately, I just had an interview for a much better job all the way around, and have a 2nd interview on Monday. I could care less if I go back to the "hell hole", and I have had my vacation long planned for this upcoming week, months before this interview. If I find out on Monday I get the job, I can start a week from Tuesday. Can my boss denie me my vacation pay if I leave the job I have now after vacation to start the new job? He knows I had the interview, and I am not happy there. He told me, in a sincere manor, not to worry about a two week notice if I do get the position. I don't know if it is actually a law that employers are obligated to pay the vacation pay, even if the employee may want to use it as part of their notice.

Vacation pay is not covered under labor laws. I found out the hard way that federal and state labor laws don't apply to vacation time at all. Companies don't even have to offer you vacation time unless you are union labor and the union contract covers vacations.

The answer depends on your state. State laws vary on vacation pay. In California, if someone resigns and gives at least 72 hours' notice, then the final paycheck must be given on the final day of work and it must include accrued vacation pay. According to one website, about half of the states require vacation pay to be included in your final paycheck.
