Odds on this meaning be gets a vacation day or just the opportunity to take an unpaid day off on a holiday?

Guaranteed it means he gets an unpaid day off for a day that he would've normally been scheduled.

Exactly this. I used to work at Walmart and we were expected to work pretty much every holiday

Please Quarteze, respectfully think about the shareholders and how much an unpaid day of work from you would mean for them. Not much, really, but they'd rather have you being miserable. Thanks Quarteze (you can run the 'work for free' wheel as many times as you want)

Probably something of a guarantee that he can take a paid vacation day on New Year's Eve. It's just that this whole thing feels wrong. Maybe it's my bias against American retailers speaking but making a certain guaranteed vacation day a prize for online reviews feels utterly dystopian to me. It would be less bad if it was an additional vacation day, but this is Walmart we're talking about.

I struggle putting my feeling into words one-by-one, but this is roughly my sentiment.
