If our compay decides to close down for Christmas Eve, are we allowed to use our vacation time or sick time?
Question Details: They told us we can't and we can make up the hours later on in the week.
If your company closes and this is a private corporation, check your employee manual. If there is a provision in there about it, refer to it. If it shuts down and has not done so before and it is not in the manual, private corporations can pretty much do more than public entities. You can use your vacation time (not sick time) but it must be approved before or the company has to agree to pay its employees and it doesn't count as vacation time. Ask for clarification.
