I think it is possible.
Employees directed by superiors to travel are in work status, not a vacation during which they are free NOT to work. As long as employer requires work, and exercises control over employee, it is paid work.
In general, you and your employer should come to an agreement about your vacation schedule. The schedule should be convenient for both of you. You both have a say.
Absent a contract between you and your employer stating otherwise, yes. Your employer controls your schedule.
This really depends on the contract you have with your employer and whether or not it includes paid vacation days.
Yes. There is no law that say that an employer actually has to give you a paid vacation in the first place. The vacation is a perkquisite of the job. It is the reason that you must work for a set number of days before you "earn" the vacation. If you resign before you take the vacation, you simply forfeit the time and money because you did not take advantage of the perk attached to the job. "Earned vacation" only counts when you take the paid time.
Guess what? Whether you believe it or not, or whether it is ultimately fair, employers have no legal obligation to offer you any vacation time. The same applies to holiday pay. Both are given at the discretion of the employer and not mandated by law. Moreover, even if an employee does offer vacation benefits, the employer can dictate how much and when you can take that vacation time. Thus, believe it or not, an employer can tell you that you are not entitled to vacation pay unless and until you work for a full year
Depends. What state are you in? Are a Paid Time Off participant or are your vacation, sick and holiday separate?
If you are still collecting accumulated vacation days from your former employer you are still receiving compensation for work performed. You must wait until your vacation pay expires before you can truly claim to be uncompensated.
can an employer force an employee to take a leave of absence with no medical documentation?
The rules generally include a provision that you get approval for vacation time off by requesting it in advance and providing the dates you will be out so the employer can plan for adequate coverage during your absence. Deciding on your own to take a vacation and simply not showing up for work can be reason for dismissal.
If you wish apon a star.

Depends on your employer. Did you fall at work? In the performance of your duties? What is the situation? What does your boss have to say about it? I fell at work my foot got caught in a electrical cord that was across the room not tapped down and I fell on my right side. I ended up in er with cervical strain and take home meds so that's how I spent my vacation. The HR director said they did pay me my vacation I was off for 9 days vacation recovering from this fall. When I had other plans for my vacation. Shouldn't WC pay for somehing. It was not my fault I fell.AnswerYou may be able to get your days back, but Comp doesn't pay 100% of your salary, so if your employer paid you vacation days instead, he probably did that with your best interests at heart. I know I'd rather have my whole check than 40-60% of it.

Yes, the employer can ask. But you can always refuse and take the consequences.
