We get 5 personal days each year that roll over at the
beginning of the year. January 1st was a holiday and I had
to work January 2nd to get paid for the holiday. I called
in on the 3rd of January and stated that I wanted to use a
personal day. Later that day, after the owner learned I
wasn't at work - she had my boss call me and give me an
unpaid day off as discipline for January 4th. I was told
that she felt we'd all had enough time off over the
holidays. I asked my boss if there was some change in
policy and confirmed that I indeed had my 5 days to use and
that I would get paid for my personal day. He didn't agree
with her action of giving me a disciplinary day - but she
is the owner and he does what she tells him.

I work in NY. Was this legal? If not, do I have any
recourse?
