In IL, when an employee quits, they must be paid for all earned vacation and holidays that were not taken prior to their leaving. A business cannot make policies which say that a worker will lose earned time when they leave. If you beleive that your rights were violated, you can file a claim with your state's department of labor and/or consult directly with an employment law attoreney.
