What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? PA. Not sure if this is the correct forum to post but I was wondering if my employer is allowed to make hourly workers use a vacation day on a day where there is inclement weather? The Governor issued a state of emergency and closed all the roads and highways (literally plowed the on-ramps shut) The power also went out in the building that day, so there was nothing that could be done all day anyway. I contacted my boss early that morning and told him I was going to try to come in and he told me not to. Now we find out that we have to use vacation pay to cover the day or take it without pay. Salaried workers are not being required to use vacation time for this, they are being paid. I could absolutely see using pto if it were possible to get into work, but it wasn't due to having 36" of snow on the ground. Thanks.
