It seems strange to us, but vacation time isn’t something required by law. In fact, there are no federal requirements for companies to cover paid sick leave, either (some states have them).

Those things mostly came about as a way for companies to attract and retain employees, and because of union negotiations.

I assume you’re talking about this being the case in the US, because in many other countries things like annual leave, sick leave etc. are absolutely mandated by legislation or national standards.

  Yep, hence “federal,” but I should have been specific.
