Legal Question in Employment Law in Louisiana

There are several potential issues here. First, I would need to see what your company's vacation policy says. Second, it would help to know whether this type of behavior (allowing vacations before they are earned) is consistent with past actions. Third, have you signed anything allowing your employer to deduct anything from you wages for any reason? Fourth, how much money do you make, because a deduction like this could cause minimum wage issues. In short, I would need to talk to you in more detail to figure out whether what they are proposing is legal.
