Yes, it is the normal and accepted practice. You get 21 days per year ("annually"). That does not mean you get all 21 on January 1st, the same way that if you are salaried, not hourly, you don't get your entire salary in one lump sum on January 1st. Instead, they are accrued or earned over time at a rate determined by dividing the number of days of vacation by the number of months and earning that many per month of service (accruing per week or even day is also acceptable, in which case you might only earn hours per interval). As for why this the norm, consider: if you got all your days at once, you could work January 1, take vacation January 2 - January 23, then quit on Jan. 4, been paid for 23 days while only working 1. Clearly, that is an unreasonable and absurb situation.
