I am in Nashville and quit Dell back in May - but I never inquired about vacation pay. If we quit and give more than 2 weeks notice are we supposed to get paid for the days we didn't take as vacation???

Best I can tell, it varies by state. Call the TN employment commission and ask them.

I called the TX EC and they told me the only thing the employer 'owes' you is pay for hours worked. Vacation is a benefit and the company can set their own policy. I can assure you, that if Dell is free in TN to deny vacation pay upon severance, that's what they will do.

According to the HR pay policies, you forefit any vacation/holiday time that you have. This is regardless whether you quit on your terms OR their terms. As Rocke noted, they don't owe you anything except what hours you worked.

I happen to look at their site to see if there was some way I could get my vacation time and still move to a better job. I was sadden to see they got the last laugh on vacation.

I was laid off not too long ago and that was the happiest day I've had in a long, long time.
