Yes. There is no law that say that an employer actually has to give you a paid vacation in the first place. The vacation is a perkquisite of the job. It is the reason that you must work for a set number of days before you "earn" the vacation. If you resign before you take the vacation, you simply forfeit the time and money because you did not take advantage of the perk attached to the job. "Earned vacation" only counts when you take the paid time.
