Employers are not obligated to grant the employee certain leave of absence. These include:
Bereavement Leave – According to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), there is no obligation to provide payment for time that is not worked, such as attending a funeral. The provision of this benefit is typically determined through an agreement between the employer and the employee (or the employee’s representative).
Vacation Time – Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), there is no mandatory requirement for employers to provide payment for time that is not worked, including vacations or holidays (whether federal or otherwise). The provision of these benefits is typically determined through an agreement between the employer and the employee (or the employee’s representative).
Holiday Leave – Employers are not required to grant their employees any paid time off for holidays
