How courts have described this case

- observing that the presence of a work requirement for vacation benefits generally is strong evidence that the benefits were “intended as a form of short term compensation for work performed”
- explaining that vacation accrual should be considered a seniority-based benefit “only where it clearly appears that vacations were intended to accrue automatically as a function of continued association with the company”
- “Vacation with pay . is normally and reasonably considered part of a worker’s current or short term return for labor. Under this view, actual work time during a year provides a fair measure of the amount of annual vacation currently earned.”
- discussing Veterans’ Reemployment Rights Act and the USERRA
- pardoning power “flows from the Constitution alone”
