QUESTION
Can an employer force you to use a vacation day even when the office is closed?
Asked on Feb 01st, 2015 on Employment Contracts - New Jersey
More details to this question:
I had requested an extra day off while on vacation because my flight was canceled due to an anticipated snow storm. My office ended up closing in anticipation of the storm as well. However, everyone else in the office got regular pay while the office was closed. I was told I have to use my vacation day because I requested the day off before they announced the office closing.

You are in a difficult position. I am of the opinion that you need to use a vacation day. The business was closed. As such, no vacation day was required. However, going to head to head with your employer is a challenging task. You should work with the HR department and see if you can't reach a compromise. Please call if we can help.
