If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

I am not sure what your question is since you never asked one. I will tell you that vacation policy and/or sick leave policy is up to the individual employer. There is no requirement under Florida law to provide either to an employee. You need to read your employee manual or check the rules of your employer.
