Add Comment Question: Hi there the company did not use our written authorization so what we can do in this situation as they are doing for last 4 or 5 years. My employer force employees to submit their vacation during shutdown so can they say that employees put their vacation. So what we can do in this situation as many numbers of employees are affected. Can it be ground for lawsuit? Thank you Answer: An employer may require an employee to take vacation during certain periods and this is not in violation of employment laws. ,However the employer is required to have the employee return to work following the vacation period or it may become a termination.
