Can you be forced to use vacation time for being sent home early from work?
My company just instituted the rule that when we are not busy, employees will be sent home and their vacation time will be used to pay for the time off. I feel this is illegal, not to mention unethical. Can a company force you to use your vacation time when it's convenient to the employer?

An employer can dictate when you take vacation
The short answer to your question is "yes." An employer has no obligation to offer any vacation at all. Therefore, it follows that an employer can dictate when you take your paid time off.
