In California, once vacation time is earned it becomes compensable wages. Use or lose it is an unlawful policy in this state. However, employers may put caps on how much vacation time an employee can accrue.
Sick time does not accrue. It is only there to use in the event an employee becomes sick. If it is not used, it is not compensable and employers do not, typically, buy that time back.
