In California, you acrue vacation pay until you actually leave, even after you've given notice. Don't know if it's law or not, but that's the way it's always worked for myself and everybody I know. And any unused accrued vacation hours are paid to you in a lump sum, either with your final paycheck or in a separate check, but within a few days of your termination date at most.
But this is California, where COBRA insurance last for 36 months, overtime starts at 8+ hours a day (not 40+ hours a week), and waiters have the same minimum wage as everybody else. Your mileage, in less enlightened states, may vary.
