Add Comment Question: My daughters manager is forcing them to resign if they want to take a 3 week vacation during the slow period of the restaurant. Jan/Feb can he do this? Answer: Thank you for your question. In no circumstances can an employer "force" an employee to resign. That said, your daughter does not have an automatic right to take vacation because the business is slow. I would suggest approaching the employer and attempting to negotiate.
