Legal Question in Employment Law in North Carolina

My employer offers 6 sick days a year, but every time you use one, it counts as 1/2 of an occurrence. After so many occurrences regardless of what they are for, you can get fired. So essentially, they automatically give you 3 occurrences every year plus what ever else you tack on, for tardiness or performance issues. Is that legal?
