How “eliminating employee vacation” is even a thing?

ULS ,

Just have no faith and you will stop asking these questions.

marcos ,

I meant to ask if it isn’t illegal or something like that?

Around here one could get a nice pay out of it by suing. So much that company even thinks about it.

Paid time off is not a guaranteed/protected benefit in the US. Even getting paid for the hours you work is lightly protected.

metaStatic ,

You're lucky to have a job; and you want to get paid too? Damn entitled Zoomers.

SinningStromgald ,

Makes me wonder if McShitpants in the article ever tried to an unpaid internship program for managers.

I'm just surprised that there's a restaurant that offers it. I mean, some restaurants do, but they're not usually chains.

Actually, thinking about it, I'm sure he's been looking to cut the vacation days regardless and is just using the minimum wage hike as a convenient excuse.

TigrisMorte ,

My bet is there never were any vacation days except on paper.

Anticorp ,

Winner!

It seems strange to us, but vacation time isn’t something required by law. In fact, there are no federal requirements for companies to cover paid sick leave, either (some states have them).

Those things mostly came about as a way for companies to attract and retain employees, and because of union negotiations.

I assume you’re talking about this being the case in the US, because in many other countries things like annual leave, sick leave etc. are absolutely mandated by legislation or national standards.

AFKBRBChocolate ,

Yep, hence “federal,” but I should have been specific.

Vacation leave is not paid but its still a cost to the business because they have to go through the process of finding another worker.

Vacation leave is not paid

Wait, what?! You are just little-fired for a month?
