Legal Question in Employment Law in Virginia
Vacation day
Can you use a vacation or sick day when you have a family emergancy and have to leave work early? In the employee handbook it says it would be unpaid. Is this legal?

Re: Vacation day
Yes, Virginia employers are under no legal obligation to provide either paid vacation or sick leave to their employees and therefore have virtually unfettered discretion in deciding how these employees may use such leave.
