Legal Question in Employment Law in California
In California, I accepted a job offer in lieu of others, primarily because of the company's outstanding vacation accrual schedule. After a period of employment, the company significantly (and adversely) revised that schedule.
I feel this is something of a bait and switch.
Do I have any recourse?

Unless the vacation policy was guaranteed in the form of an employment contract, you have no remedy. Employers have the right to change any form of compensation and benefit, upon notice. They just cannot change the terms retroactively. Whatever vacation days you may have earned prior to the notice of the change, cannot be forfeited. But, absent a binding contract, the employer can say, from this date forward, the terms have changed.
