2 weeks notice - Vacation Pay
I gave my company written notice for two weeks, but stated the last four days would be taken as vacation days, since I had accrued 8 days of vacation. They refuse to pay, stating that the Company handbook says you must give two weeks notice, which they say I did not.
Are there any laws in PA protecting me for this , in order to receive my 8 days of pay?

Depends on when you earned your vacation time.
Before I respond to your inquiry, I must state that we have not spoken, I have not reviewed the relevant documents and facts, and I do not represent you. Therefore, my discussion below is not a legal opinion, but is informational only. Finally, my discussion applies only to issues to which Pennsylvania or Federal law apply, unless otherwise specified.
That being said, whether you are entitled to your vacation pay is generally going to depend on when you "earned" it. Once you've earned your vacation pay, you must be paid it when you leave. As you've indicated that you have "accrued" your vacation pay, it is likely that your employer may not withhold it for failure to give notice. You should file a complaint with the Pennsylvania Department of Labor, via the form at this link:
