Your post lack details. Is it your annual vacation leave?

If it's you Annual vacation leave, normally after completing 2 years or depending on contract, your company must give you your 1 month salary plus annual leave vacation bonus as per contract.

But if you are just taking your own vacation not as per law or contract, then that can be a different story.

However if you feel you are being cheated contact the labor office and file a case.

Good luck.
