As far as I can tell, paying out vacation time isn't depending on anything; the company is obligated to pay that no matter what.

While there are plenty of workers who don't really have any recourse, I'd imagine highly paid tech workers can afford enough of a lawyer's time for them to draft a scary letter.

it can depend on whether the "vacation days" are offered as an earned benefit. Sometimes in PTO systems employers structure PTO as a discretionary benefit rather than guaranteed/earned benefit. Discretionary stuff can be held back (usually applies to expected bonuses but could apply to PTO)
