In S.C., an employee only has the right to be paid for their accrued vacation time if there is a company policy (e.g. the handbook) or a union/collective barganing agreement or emplotnebt contract which states that workers will be paid such time when they leave. Additionally, sometimes there is a rule that workers will be paid their accrued vacation time if they give notice before quitting. You'll need to ask HR what the specific rules are. Also, ask other employees if the company has paid other employees their accrued time when they left and if thy gave notice, if so then you should be entitled to such pay.
