My wife has 3-month of vacation time and they (medical field) are refusing to allow her to take off any of those days but will pay her for those days. Can they legally deny allowing her not to take those days off? Thank you.

Yes, employer may pay vacation, and not permit taking the time. Your employer may do this. Many employers do not pay employees earned vacation if they quit. It is forfeited.

There is no law that requires an employer to provide or allow employees to take vacation time. It is great that she will be paid for those days. I recommend that you read the company policy regarding vacation in the event that your wife decides not to work her notice. You don't want her to forfeit her vacation pay out. Good luck to you and your wife.
