Employment is a trade between you and your employer. You trade your work and effort for their money and benefits. What deal did you make? I am sure this policy was stated to you in some way or another, if it was not, take it up with your employer. Remember, if you really want to show your employer who is boss, you can always quit.
This is part of the silly concept of making employment trades complicated. It would be easier if there were no paid vacations. Get paid when you work and not when you don't (employers can still agree to unpaid vacations). That's the way the rest of business transactions work. Money traded for skilled labor - simple. Money, time, health care, insurance, etc. traded for skilled labor - complicated and burdened for the employer resulting in less employment and misunderstandings as to who is responsible for your life.

My boyfriend just started a full time job last week. He was feeling the same way you are! Granted he is in a different situation because he's never had a job before, but before he started he was really stressed out and really depressed as well. Now though he has a routine and he feels a lot for comfortable with his position. I think what you're feeling is something that everyone feels whenever something new comes into our lives. We get so stressed out about how things are going to change us and that causes us to question why we put ourselves in such situations and that upsets us. Think back to before when you started your part-time job, how did you feel? This new job is a good way to expand your life to it's full potential. You'll make new friends and should be happier in general once you find out your click within the company. New is stressful, but if you don't embrace it then you'll always be too scared to fully live your life!

I dont believe a company is obligated to carry forward your vacation days, However, they would likely be required to pay out any vacation owing by the end of the year.
In canada, for a perosn who is working less than 5 years, MUST be paid 4% of earnings for vaction pay..either cash or time off--which works out to about 2 weeks by the end of a calendar year.
More than 5 years, and its 6% or 3 weeks.

Most employers now have a minimm amount of time you must work before being able to use any paid vacation time..usually 6 months. This is pretty standard. Also, while many places do allow unused vacation time or sick leave to accrue and be used in another calendar year, many do not. This is to make book keeping simpler, make costs more predicatable. It is not illegal.

It depends on the company policy. There are no laws governing vacation because vacations are a company benefit, not a right.

A company can handle vacation any way they want. There is no requirement to carry over vacation.

This is a matter of company policy. There really are no laws regarding vacation time and the calculation of such time. If you don't like the way they calculate vacation time, find a different job.

Different companies have different policies. If your time doesn't carry over, I think the company is required to pay you for the time accumulated. But it's not unusual for companies to not carry over vacation time.

Unless there is a law to the contrary in your location (If you're in the U.S. there probably isn't), the employer can do this. It is very common not to allow employees to carry over vacation or to limit the number of days they can carry over.

I don't know what the law on the matter is. Whatever the case, I think that you and your employer should have the right to agree to whatever contract you wish. I agree that it's not a very generous contract. It seems like your company is at risk of you seeking employment elsewhere.
