Here’s what Alan had to say. Hope he answered your Q. Glenn
*****
- If an employee is off on vacation, they can not be made to come in for a Saturday shift. The requirement to provide vacation time is defined as weeks away from work. The minimum requirement is to take vacation in whole weeks. If a person is asked to work a Saturday shift, in a week during which they are on vacation, this person has not had a complete week away from work, so the requirement to provide vacation time has not been met.
- Other than this, employees can be required to work a Saturday shift. It’s considered within management rights to set the hours of work for employees.
- If employees do not report for work as required for a Saturday shift, they can be disciplined, but reducing their vacation entitlement can not be part of this discipline.
