Corporation and Vacation time

[CaliforniaMike]

What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? California

I work for a corporation who is headquartered in Ohio. The branch I work at is in California. They have told us that if we do not use our vacation time (only 1 week per year can be rolled over) that we will lose the vacation time. Is this legal since they are in Ohio?

Also, our branches in CA are under a California LLC.

Thank you,

Under California law, the follwing is from their website

In California, vacation pay is another form of wages which vests as it is earned (in this context, "vests" means you are invested or endowed with rights in the wages). Accordingly, a policy that provides for the forfeiture of vacation pay that is not used by a specified date ("use it or lose it") is an illegal policy under California law and will not be recognized by the Labor Commissioner.
