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”
  • analyzing Military Se- lective Service Act
