If vacation was approved, can they not pay you?
When offered this job, I stated that I had already had a vacation planned. They approved this vacation but failed to tell me I would not get paid for it. Can they do this? I am a salaried employee.

Yes, your employer can do this. Vacation pay is not legally required to be provided. To the extent that it is, an employer can set the conditions under which it is paid as it sees fit (absent some form of legally actionable discrimination). So unless this action violated the terms of a union agreement or employment contract, you have no claim here.
