When do sick and vacation days restart?
Usually sick days and vacation days start beginning of the year And last to end of the year. My current employer is now saying it is from my anniversary date June 2017 to June 2018. Which leaves me. Nothing. And is an employer allowed to listen or record audio from a camera? And are we suppose to receive an employee handbook with rules and policies regarding our jobs at the time of hire? What are the rules for using sick days or vacation days? Can my employer get upset or as Me to change my doctor appointments? I have been going to a dr for ovarian cyst and my boss asked Me to do it after work. I work 7:30 to 4:30 but my doctor’s office closes at 5:00 pm.

1) There is no law about when sick or vacation days start to accrue again. It is competely up to the employer. The employer may change this at will, but the change is only effective from when they provided notice of it forward; until they provided employees with notice of the change, they continued to accruse under the old rules.
2) An employer may not record audio unless everyone who is recorded consents (agrees) to being recorded; your state (CA) is a "two-party" consent state, which really should be called an "all-party" consent state, since the consent of everyone recorded is necessary. Video-only, however, is allowed.
3) There are no laws about use of sick or vacation days: employers set their one policies about how many days, approving them, etc.
4) An employer can ask you to change doctor, etc. appointments you have scheduled if they are interferring with work and find some way (even if with a different doctor) to do them earlier, later, in the evening, or on non-work days. They can't make you change emergency appointments, but have the right to ask you to schedule appointments set up in advance for nonwork hours, especially if you have had several appointments and it is interfering with work.
