I live in California but am starting a new job in the state of Washington. Can I double dip by taking a week's vacation from the California job (earned days) so I can start the new job on the dare the new employer wants me to start?

I have worked for the present company nearly 12 years. By staying thru the end of the month, I will get my bonus check. However, my new employer in the Seattle wants me to start Sept 26. I would like to take the week of Sept 26 as vacation from the California job so I can accomodate my new employer. My California job advised that I need to work (not take as vacation day) on the 30th of September to receive the bonus check. I can work remotely in Washington for the California employer on the 30th to accomodate that stipulation. I would still like to start work for the new company on the 26th. Can I double dip?
