Buying vacation days? That's a new one to me.... I thought the company was meant to pay YOU on vacation.

pharmacy is not on the union insurance. yes, they take money out of your check but you can take the vacation days you pay for and get paid for fulltime

Why on earth would you pay for YOUR vacation days? If anything, the company should pay YOU to take vacation.

you must not understand.

you get a certain amount deducted from your check per week. you are paying for extra vacation days. said vacation days work exactly the same as the vacation days you earn every year. except you get paid for them with the money that is deducted from your check.

i get two weeks vaca per year but if i allow the deduction i'll get three weeks

 That's not a vacation.  That's time off without pay.  The only difference is the money is being deducted first.  It may be a little at a time, but in the end you're still losing a week's pay.

Unless your Salary, paying for Vacation days is pointless. Call in sick, take a few days off unpaid...

 Correct. If your store is union, you should get vacation days. I would NEVER allow the store to charge for vacation days.
