I was off for 3 day with a Dr's note stating I couldn't work. My employer told me that those days were used against my vacation days. Is that right?

I'm in BC Canada. I've just been told this on a phone call so far, and my response was that "I understand this decision has already been made so if that's my job I'll keep doing my job." Did I accidentally "accept" by saying this?

RTO has been announced and mandated and I would like to know if I'm entitled to severance pay if I refuse to return to the office.
