Kentucky law defines "wages" to include any compensation due to an employee by reason of his employment and specifically includes "vested vacation pay." KRS 337.010. Vested vacation pay should be considered accrued vacation pay.
Claims for unpaid wages arising from vested vacation pay usually arise when someone leaves a job and the former employer does not want to pay them their vested and unused vacation pay.
