Yes, it's true that unless such pay was guaranteed to you under an enforceable contract, there is no requirement under Virginia law for employers to provide vacation pay to their employees.

However, if some person of proper authority in this company made an oral promise to pay you for this time, you may want to consider suing the company in small claims court for what you believe is owed to you.
