Legal Question in Employment Law in Tennessee

Can my employer take away vacation time?
I work for a farmer's cooperative governed by a board of directors. Our policy and procedures states that after one year of service we are given a week's paid vacation. This year the manager decided to take time away based on how many hours we actually worked some of us were absent due to illness, (under a physcian's care) national guard service, jury duty etc. We were not notified of this nor does it state this in our policy and procedures. Is this legal? The person that had 2 weeks of national guard duty got a whole week taken from his vacation time. Is this legal??
