Pretty sure they have to give you cash for them when they expire

That used to be true, but many companies moved to Personal Time Off(PTO) instead which doesn't have that requirement. Will vary by state and country, but I can confirm in Florida and Gerogia in the US that it's use it or lose it. No payout necessary, even if laid off.

They do not, unless you have an employment contract that says otherwise.

Idk what the criteria are, but I dont get paid for unused vacation. Idk if its a salary/hourly thing, paid/unpaid, or maybe state/country labor laws, but its not universal

Pretty sure that's considered wage theft in all 50 states. But not surprised it happened to you, wage theft costs Americans more money than any other crime, literally billions of dollars annually. As far as I know there is no law enforcement proactively policing this stuff, anything that goes unreported goes uninvestgated and unprosecuted.

I believe my country (Canada) mandates this.

However, I've had employers that simply paid out your vacation pay on every paycheque, it was a pittance of like $30 if that....

So they never "accumulated" any vacation time for workers and couldn't give any fewer shits if you took your vacation or not. They would only give a shit if you took too much time off for vacation.

Beyond that, you're on your own.

I never took vacation.
