Q: is it legal to deny paid holiday if you work full time but have missed days because of health concern and sick days?
i work full time but have missed a certin amount of days because of sick/health reasons and have had some and some not excused absences.
my employer said i cannot get my paid holidays because of this. but I have worked for the company which states that I can gain paid holidays after 6 months
A: This would be an issue of contract, as employers are not required to provide any sort of paid time off, including holidays (assuming this is not a government job). So it comes down to what exactly are the employers' policies.
