Can I wait for a period of time before an employee starts earning vacation?
HRCalifornia
An employer may create a policy under which employees do not begin earning vacation immediately upon hire. The typical policy of this type requires an employee to work 90 days before vacation begins to accrue. If the policy is clear in this respect, the employee does not earn any vacation until the 91st day.
The policy may not delay the earning of vacation for 90 days but then retroactively grant that amount of accrued vacation once the 90 days are up.
