An employer should not be able to fire a person on vacation if they gave notice and their vacation was approved. However, if the vacation was not approved, the employer may be able to fire the person.

In most cases, yes. However, the employee must be notified of the termination and compensated for any accrued vacation time remaining.

I assume that you are firing them because of something they did prior to leaving for vacation, and which you did not discover until they had already left for vacation.

You may wish to wait until they return from vacation so that you can hear their side of the story, although you'll have to judge whether the circumstances warrant the delay.

Obviously, you are subject to the provisions of the employment agreement and your state's employment laws regarding acceptable reasons for termination and notification of termination.

Can an employer refuse to pay you earned vacation if you quit?

My guess is that it all goes to the contract you have with your employer. If you requested a vacation day and it was approved, they should pay you with vacation time. If you just missed a day without approval, they can choose not to pay you. But this is all speculative. Read your contract/employee handbook.
