That... fails logic. If it's part of their compensation package (like, "we offer n days of vacation a year"? as opposed to "for these random two weeks, you're furloughed with no choice in the matter"?), it has a value, no matter how hard they try to douchemonkey their way out of it.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Is that legal to say vacation time has no monetary value? What a fucked up policy.
This is my question.
An employer may lawfully establish a policy or enter into a contract denying employees payment for accrued vacation leave upon separation from employment, so long as the employer has properly notified its employees in writing of the vacation policy. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 95-25.12; NC Dept. of Labor FAQs; NC Admin. Code 13 NCAC 12.0306.
Sorry, smonster.
our vacation policy states that vacation and/or sick time has no monetary value.
This varies state-to-state. In California, it counts as wages, but most states don't assign it value. It's a gift.
Vacation payouts depend on state law, I'm pretty sure. In California you've got to pay it out, but I'm pretty sure that's because the legislature made it so.
No, our vacation policy states that vacation and/or sick time has no monetary value. We do not pay out for time not taken.
It totally depends on the state. Sadly, it looks like this might be legal in NC: [link]
I was looking at NC's labor law FAQ, and it looks like there's not a lot of worker protection (I am not in a position to be judge-y, living in Indiana), so that doesn't surprise me.
Yeah, I just talked to the ESC, and they confirmed that it's totally legal. Damn, shoulda taken both weeks to be in New Orleans. Ah, well.
Thanks for the speedy answer, hivemind!
Now to file my unemployment claim.

Yes, this is why the policy handbook of my company has to follow each of its sucky policies with, "In California, our policy is as follows..."

Thank you Harry Bridges and the General Strike of 1934.
