Re: +vacation time

You have no rights at all with respect to vacation compensation unless such is guaranteed to you under a contract

The District of Columbia is a so-called employment at will jurisdiction wherein employers are under no obligation to provide employees with either paid sick or vacation leave unless such are included as part of the kinds of agreement(s) referenced above.
