So your job does not have a work from home option?GoldenKnight wrote: ↑ My employer is asking all employees to use up all their vacation benefits starting April 14 due to COVID-19 or face layoffs or pay cut. Just wondering if your employer is doing the same? I won't say who my employer is due to privacy issue. That means I will have to use all 6 weeks of vacation to stay home until our next fiscal year in June 01, 2020.
6 weeks of vacation? You must have a really nice job.GoldenKnight wrote: ↑... That means I will have to use all 6 weeks of vacation to stay home until our next fiscal year in June 01, 2020.

OP not a good idea to listen to this advice.tommyamaral wrote: ↑ U are getting screwed. Tell him no thank you.
by law you are only entitled to the employer standards amount (i think its two weeks still, they kept changing it liberal>conservative changeover). anything above that is a benefit of which an employer can dictate how and when you can take it if they want to. 99.99% of companies will never do that because its morale suicide but they can. This is why employers can say you can lose vacation time if not used.GoldenKnight wrote: ↑ Yes, my employer has been allowing us to work from home since the pandemic lockdown and I've been working from home since March 16. But, lately they're cutting back on human resources costs and believe that working from home is counter productive and had laid off most level entry positions. The middle management staffs are asked to burn their vacation leave benefits or pay cut and potentially lay off. I get another 6 weeks of new vacation leave on June 01, 2020. My question is can an employer forces you to burn all your vacation time in 2 months? Thank you for your input.
I dont know why your sweating it if you are CB. Your union possibly already agreed to this.GoldenKnight wrote: ↑ They haven't told me anything about a layoff or a pay cut after my staycation. According to my collective bargaining agreement, my vacation hours are bankable to a maximum of 600 hours. Basically, they're asking me to burn all 6 weeks to stay at home until June 01. I might ask an employment lawyer to help out.
