In the US, there is no law that states a company has to give you ANY vacation or paid holidays or paid time off. I have been reminded over the years that it is out of the goodness of their heart. The law states that you have to get at least a 10 minute break for every 4 hours of work. The exception is government and federal workers, such as cops, teachers ect. Every private company sets their own policy.
Years ago I watched a special about a factory in Ohio that gave no paid time off at all, but paid their employees based on production, so they wanted to work all the time. Year end bonuses were based on output for the year for that person. The top bonus winner would usually have enough to pay cash for a really nice car, after taxes.
As far as your question goes, in my case I can choose to use vacation or not get paid.

10 days PTO. I think my next year it becomes 15 days. Plus 6 holidays (NYD, Chirstmas, Thanksgiving, July 4th, Memorial Day, and Labor Day).
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
