I suggest that you review your employer employee handbook assuming there is one regarding the issue that you have written about. Assuming there is a handbook the answer should be there. If not, then you are entitled to have your accrued vacation applied immediately to your next paycheck in that such was your employer's obligation to get the matter squared away before you took your vacation.
