[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It would be ridiculous [b](and illegal)[/b] for you to be denied any vacation at all. Is there some reason you think this request won't be allowed? Ask now so it can get on the schedule before it interferes with any projects. [/quote]

Umm...not illegal.  Every place I've ever worked states that leave must be approved in advance.  [/quote]

Yes BUT.  An employer does eventually have to let you use your earned vacation.  They don't have to offer Vacation but if they do, it is a part of your compensation.

If the employer has a pattern of not approving earned vacation with no reasonable justification like a big project or meeting or something, I think that they could be held liable for that.

The case highlighted in the article you provided involved payout for unused vacation days at termination.  That is an entirely different issue and something that varies somewhat by state.

There is nothing illegal about an employer not allowing an employee to take a vacation at a certain time, nor would it be illegal for an employer to say that vacation had to be used at a certain time (such as the summer) as long as it was clearly outlined in the policies.[/quote]
