What is the name of your state? Virginia
My employer is currently doing some temporary work shortages that have affected 11 employees. Out of those 11, 6 had all of their work come to a complete halt for, what has been projected to last for 2 weeks. 4 of us have been forced to take our 2 weeks of vacation, immediately. Of those 4, 3 of us did not have our work reduced, and the other one still had some work to do. We have been forced to take our vacation while the other's work in our place.
My theory is that they decided this alphabetically according to our last name, but us 4 have senority over 4 of the other guys that are still working. Is this legal?
