By the time it gets to court, it's no longer a few hundred bucks. And even if you take it to small claims, you can get the defendant to pay the costs if they lose. And they will lose. Because withholding pay is kind of illegal.

The vacation/sick pay issue is more of a grey issue as it's mostly a matter of company policy than any legal issue.

Payout of unused vacation time is also a matter of state law (for example, it's required in California)
