In FL., you only have a right to be paid for your accrued vacation time if there is a company policy (e.g. in the handbook), a union agreement or employment contract that says employees will be paid for such time when they depart. So unless company policy, etc. is to pay workers their accrued vacation time, you have no claim here.
