Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

Vacation Pay

I have been working full-time at my job for more than a year and a half. In May of this year I was paid vacation pay. I have recently changed to part-time. My job has now informed me I need to pay back the vacation pay, and I will not receive a paycheck until it has all been paid back. Is that legal?
