- Start date
- End date

**Validation rules:**
- Start date cannot be more than one month in the past
- End date must be after start date
- System checks for overlapping events

**Note:** This endpoint is only available for employee accounts. Once a vacation is approved or rejected, it cannot be updated. To cancel an approved vacation, use DELETE /api/public/account/employee/vacations/:id.
