The employer can change its policies so long as it applies the new policy uniformly. So on January 1 for example an employer could state that the new policy is no personal or paid holidays. Unless an employee works they are not paid. And that could take all accrued leave time from all employees. Yes, without a contract such as a union agreement that would be legal. New Yorks paid medical leave law would still apply but your question is about personal or holiday pay.

Of course new York's new paid medical leave would still be in effect but that does not cover holidays or personal leave aka PTO.
