Requiring salaried employees, or even union employees, to use vacation time if they want to be paid during a plant shut down is a common practice, and therefore presumably acceptable. The specifics, of course, will depend on the specific jurisdiction in which the company is located and the employee works.
can an employer force an employee to take a leave of absence with no medical documentation?
No, an employer in Florida does not have to pay accrued vacation time when you quit. That is if it in the company policy, it is not mandatory.
There is no legal requirement for vacation. It is entirely at the employer's discretion whether to provide or allow vacation time.
Vacation pay is an unregulated gift from the employer. It may deny or change vacation rules at will, except based on employee race, sex, religion, age or other illegal basis.
Yes
If you wish apon a star.
most likely not, but it depends on who the employer is and what their standards are for allotting vacation credits
My guess is that it all goes to the contract you have with your employer. If you requested a vacation day and it was approved, they should pay you with vacation time. If you just missed a day without approval, they can choose not to pay you. But this is all speculative. Read your contract/employee handbook.
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
No! Vacation and anytime off is not required by law. That said, if an employer pay out vacation for one employer, by best practice, they should pay out to all employees. If not, it may be considered discrimination.
