"Employer Restrictions on Vacation Activities: The Skiing Dilemma"
Gregory Giangrande addresses two concerns: the timing of job searches and vacation rights. He suggests that the best time to look for a job is when one is prepared and positive, rather than trying to time the market. Regarding vacations, he clarifies that while a boss can't dictate how employees spend their time off, they can determine when vacations can be taken, especially during busy seasons. In the case of an accountant being discouraged from skiing due to injury risks during the tax season, Giangrande affirms that personal activities during vacation are not the employer's business, but taking time off during critical work periods can be legitimately restricted by the employer.
