I believe they’re saying that they have paid time off, but it’s paid at the rate for day shift workers. Since they always work night shift (which has a pay bump) that means the paid time off pays less than they normally get.
I also interpreted it as you said, and also how the other commenter did.
Where I live, you get vacation pay based on your work pay. To me, if my vacation pay weren’t based on my work pay, it wouldn’t really be vacation pay to me.
So you have vacation time, but not paid time off?
