The Californian law does not dictate that vacations are mandatory. Due to the importance these have on the employee morale and subsequently the business returns however makes it an ideal option for many employers. A holiday allows the employee some time off work so that he or she can relax and come back with renewed energy. When an employer decides to allow vacations there are some rules that they must follow.<\/p>\n
Vacation duration<\/strong><\/p>\n This is solely determined by the employer and can range from a few days to a month as they may deem fit. This decision however should not be biased depending on factors such as gender, religion and sex. Other than how long the vacation can last, the employer also determines when these vacations cannot be taken. These will usually be periods when the business is at its peak. The maximum number of employees that can be on vacation at any given time is also determined by the employer.<\/p>\n Who qualifies to have vacations? This is also at the discretion of the employer. Not everyone in the company may be allowed a vacation. Some will allow only the managers while others will allow only the permanent employees and others allow all employees to have this privilege. So long as there is no biasness based on personal traits like race then it is legal.<\/p>\n Sick leaves<\/strong><\/p>\n Under the Californian law, an employer must provide a minimum number of paid sick days in a year for all its employees.<\/p>\n Accrual<\/strong><\/p>\n While some employees will be glad to go on vacation, others prefer to work all year round. The latter can gain from vacation accrual law which states that from when an employer deems it fit for the employee to have paid vacations, the dues accrue. The days also accrue and you can go on a longer vacation in the next. In California, accrued vacation is considered as unpaid wages if not used. This wage continues to accrue unless there is a cap set on the vacation accrual. The law permits employers to place a reasonable cap, that is, a period after which the accrual stops. There is no actual set value but 1.5times the annual accrual rate is acceptable.<\/p>\n Employers can advance vacations to their employees is they deem it necessary.<\/p>\n Payout<\/strong><\/p>\n Accrued vacation must be paid to the employee when he or she loses the job be it through being fired or quitting. It is part of the wages the employee has earned at the company and needs to be paid in the final wage. Advanced vacations however may not be deducted from the employee\u2019s final cheque.<\/p>\n On the other hand sick days do not need to be paid off upon separation unless they are included in a general PTO policy.<\/p>\n All payout needs to be paid on separation as per the law or a waiting charge of daily wage for up to 30 days will apply.<\/p>\n Paid time off<\/strong><\/p>\n This may come on any day of the year or on special days like birthdays, Christmas and anniversaries (known as floating holidays). When on a special occasion these are not considered as vacations but for the prior they are and need to be paid out upon separation.<\/p>\n Photo Credit: Shutterstock\/sirtravelalot<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Californian law does not dictate that vacations are mandatory.
