In your state (California), vacation pay is considered accrued wages and employees must be paid out for all accrued but unused vacation time when their employment ends. There is no exception for salaried employees, so it appears that your employer owes you 200 hours of pay. You could contact your state's department of labor about filing a complaint, and/or consult with an employment law attorney about about suing for the money.
