Companies do not have to provide vacation days in the first place--the law does not mandate vacation. Since it is is voluntary on the part of employers to provide vacation, they are free to set the rules for how it is earned, accrued or calculated. So they can use 14 weeks/quarter if they like, rather than 13.
