No, but they don't have to pay you your days salary either, although many will, it is not required that they do so.

Actually, many states have laws about how employees are to be paid while on jury duty. Check with your state employment commission.

Your wife was fired for doing jury duty is this legal?

It most likely was not legal. Jury duty is a compulsory duty imposed by law and it may not be interfered with by private individuals or companies. States have laws that require employers to permit their employees to fulfill jury duty requirements without retaliation. Employers cannot be forced to pay an employee for time missed from work, but they cannot take any adverse action against you for going. Same in the UK and all civilized countries, providing the employer is made aware of the duty. An individual or company with a strong case can ask for a deferral of duty.

Can an employer refuse to pay earned vacation days if an employee resigns in Alabama?

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.


Can an employer dictate the days in which you take your vacation?

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.


Does an employer have to pay accrued vacation time if the employee has been there less than one year in the State of Alabama?

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
