Is it legal for employer to take your vacation money and last check for broken equipment ?

The vacation check maybe depending on how you left, what their policy was and whether it was applied uniformly. The last paycheck probably not. There are very limited circumstances under which employees consent in writing to deductions from pay. Withholding pay is never allowed unless they had overpaid you or were obligated usually by court order to forward the money for your unpaid debts if any. Demand your money in writing certified mail green card returned. If they dont pay sue them in small claims court in whatever county you worked or where they do business. It costs very little for you assuming it's done in good faith. An employment lawyer would need to carefully read all of your paperwork mentioned above, lawyers have bills like you, and it looks like it would be more economical for you to give it the old college try yourself with the small claims court. Good luck.
