Legal Question in Employment Law in Virginia

I was hired by a small non-profit organization for a position that was 24 hours per week. After 10 weeks of employment I was fired because they "expected me to put in full time hours". My employment contract is "at will" but does state that I am "entitled to two weeks vacation". The organization is stating that they will pay me for 10 hours of vacation time in accordance with their vacation accrual policies. This is the first time I have been told about this policy and was never provided with any handbook or other documents covering company policy except for my contract. Should they have to pay me for the entire two weeks of vacation?

Yes, if the contract is valid and enforceable, the company is likely liable for paying you for the full two weeks vacation time referenced in the contract---- after you've been employed for one year.

In the meantime, if they're offering compensation for 10 hours, GRAB IT!
