Most employers can change their policies at any time.
Your best option would be to retain a lawyer for the limited purpose of reading all of your employer's policies, handbooks, contracts, amendments in order to provide you with an opinion which you can rely upon.
Employers must treat everyone the same. So, for example, if their policies are not contracts, which most are not, and the employer eliminates earned vacation for all employees, that may not be illegal. A lawyer needs to evaluate the documents.
