QUESTION:

One of our flex Benefits is the ability to purchase an additional week of vacation. The company policy is that I have to use earned/accrued vacation before I can use purchased vacation. If I am unable to use the paid vacation it becomes lost. Is it legal in this policy to not allow me to sell back the purchased vacation instead of loosing it?


ANSWER:

Many flex benefits programs can be set up this way. Employees normally do not purchase additionally vacation unless they know they will be able to utilize all of the vacation in question.
