Is the amount of vacation time you get per year depending on the company? My boyfriend was a contractor but has now been hired (by the same company) as a full time employee. Is he entitled to any vacation time by law? He took it upon himself to take a vacation day and charge them 8 hours, but now they are saying he doesn't get vacation pay. Please help! Any reference to laws would be helpful!

The first thing is read the Human Resources Handbooks he should have received at hiring. Every company can write their own vacation/sick time rules, as long as the rules dont break any state laws.
What do you mean they charged him 8 hours?
Is he on salary or hourly wages?
See there are lots of things that can effect pay...
As for reference go to your states Labor Law website for starters.

Yes, it depends on lots of different things. Different companies are different, it can also depend on status (temp vs full time), the union a person belongs to if they're in one, how long the person has been working for a company, etc.
He would have to get the employee handbook and read what theirs are regarding vacation time or call the HR department or something.
There is no law requiring paid vacation time.

Vacation pay is company to company; you don't always get paid for taking time off...it's kind of like PTO (Paid Time Off), not every company offers this...that's why they're called benefits...unless he was told prior to becoming a full-time employee that paid vacation would be one of the benefits he hasn't a leg to stand on when trying to get paid for the day he took off...the govt can not and should not force companies to pay for time that the employee will not be working...for small companies it is not cost effective to pay an employee a days wages when the company is unable to benefit from the employees productivity...

No employers are not required to offer vacation time or holiday pay either! It is up to each individual business. They are required to offer breaks for certian jobs - not all - depending on how many hours you work during the day. And can't make you come in sooner then 8 hours between shifts, unless you agree to it. But they don't make you offer benefits like vacation time.

It's completely dependent on the company. He may have to be employed officially with the company for a certain amount of time before he is elligible. Or it may only be accrued at the beginning of each year or quarterly. He needs to check with them before taking any vacation days!

What part of the world do you live in? In the US vacation time is not mandated by law, it is a benefit that companies choose to offer or not offer.
