I currently have 25 PTO days per year,which are listed in my employment agreement. We are only allowed to carry over 10 days to the next year. Anything over that is lost. My supervisor has not allowed me to take all of my time off. Even with the carry over, I will lose 10 days this year. I told her about not getting all of my vacation and that next year I would have 35 days. She told me that I would not be able to take much of that either. Most others are allowed to take their days. What remedy do I have, if any?

Typically, the law does not require employers to offer any paid vacation days at all. However, once they do, employers must follow through on what they have promised. For example, they cannot take away vacation days as a disciplinary measure.
That being said, if you are an at-will employee (meaning you can be fired for any or no reason), you probably can be lawfully terminated for taking your vacation when the employer told you not to. In addition, your employer likely is free determine whether or not unused vacation days can be rolled over from one year to the next.
On the other hand, the above statements may not be true in your state. As with most employment issues, the laws governing vacation policies vary state-by-state, meaning you should contact an experienced employment attorney in your area for a more specific answer.
