The real question is, does it matter if it's legal or not? Are you really in a position to go argue or pursue legal action with your employer at a time like this?

It was a question. Calm your tits. Weighing options if its better to be laid off vs using your vacation time if worst case they have to close temporarily.

[ExtraSlow]

well, anyone who is laid off will be paid out that vacation time, and will have to wait to collect EI until that payout is used up, so the net result isn't very different.

Thanks for the response. Thats why I asked as I have no idea about this area, never experienced lay off before.

[ExtraSlow]

It's probably Waaaaay better to use the vacation as an employee than to be laid off right away because you maintain benefits, and my kind of RRSP or pension contributions.

As my work is hella slow right now, they are forcing staff to use their vacation days to self-isolate and practice Social Distancing, and what they say is to prevent lay offs. So I'm off next week.

Is this legal?

Yes it is

Vacations should be scheduled by mutual agreement. If that does not occur, the employer is permitted to determine when your vacation will be taken, but must give you two weeks' notice.

I think employers with union shop tends to be harder to implement this. But if people are not driving and not piling up the miles, I expect less servicing will be needed over the next few months other than break fix. It's going to be interesting for dealerships the next few months.

Our office is attempting a teams meeting this evening for the entire office.. so 60-100 people... i expect that will kill our teams for at least 2 days

[ExtraSlow]

My company plan for RingCentral allows max 23 people per meeting. Cannot imagine any more than that being efficient anyway.

Probably the same rip off job loss insurance on mortgages.

Slightly obese and old, health benefits ain't bad either.

Although I guess no insurance covered rub and tug the next few months.
