Nothing in Louisiana law requires an employer to provide an employee with vacation time, so an employer is largely free to administer its vacation policy as it sees fit. The only caveat is that, if you resign or are terminated, and the vacation time is "earned" or "accrued" under the employer's vacation policy, then any unused time must be paid to the employee.
